The Antrobus family actually wants to live peacefully in New Jersey, but three times in a row they are confronted with doomsday scenarios such as the Ice Age, the Great Flood, and war. Despite the catastrophes, the family repeatedly proves to be remarkably resilient and finds ways from chaos to a new life. In this revue of humanity, space and time seem to be suspended: a dinosaur and a mammoth graze in the front yard, while Homer and Moses seek asylum, and the great philosophers appear as planets in the nightly dance...
