I wonder why people said it lasted for 47 minutes when I have a 67 minute version. That certainly moves the film out of the short film category, I think.
Anyway, this is a movie filled with symbols so that what seems a weird journey of three mental patients touches subjects like religion, sin, regret, without being religious.
Two boys and a girl leave from a mental institution by walking on a wall. Normal people cannot go on the wall, they would fall down, like a cop that tried to stop them did. A priest comes to them on the wall, though, but sits on it, then climbs down on a ladder. After these two events they are armed with a gun and a bible. Going off the wall leads to death, as one of them accidentally falls down and hits his head.
The main characters are childish and have different weird views over the world. The girl thinks the world was made by her parents when they gave birth to her and that it's going to end when she dies. The boy thinks the world is going to end and by reading the bible he convinces the others of it. So they decide to go to a picnic at the end of the wall to watch the end of the world. Of course, it's not the destination or the food that is important, but the journey. In the end, the world does end, sort of.
I liked this movie, I think I will keep it in my collection. Watch this if you are in a mood for a meaningful low budget film.
