This is a short story about three teenagers in a mental institution (I'd prefer sanitarium because that is what it looks like) who, embarks on a trip to watch the end of the world. No need to analyze why but there are a lot of things they carry on their shoulders and when they get a bible from the minister it hints at consolation and they are quick to grab it. What is really apparent in this movie is the air of freedom; when they leave the gray, run down sanitarium it is all blue skies, refreshing winds and funny music (I'd love to have the sound track). I like this movie because of that, no matter how hard their lives are, there is always room for happiness, however fragile it may be. For fragile it is, in a blink of an eye it may vanish even though it may seem that it will last forever. It is a beautiful, yet tragic movie that I really recommend to anyone with an interest in the fate of people and their lives.
