22nd of May Page #5

Synopsis: Sam wakes up, gets ready and goes to do his daily job. And then the unexpected happens. A bomb explodes in the center of the shopping mall where he works. He drags himself towards the entrance to save the victims. One by one he pulls them out, until something terrible takes place. In complete hysteria he runs off till he falls down from exhaustion. A woman's voice makes him raise his head. She's one of the victims he saved. She wants to know why the suicide bomber did it. This encounter projects him back in history and even in a surreal world. Thereafter he runs into everyone he saved and feels that their defeat shows many parallels with his own. Even his confrontation with the wrongdoer isn't that straightforward as he thought it would be and confronts him with the fact that guilt and innocence can be pretty much alike.

Yes

Ok Good

Now you can run

as far as you want

I don't feeI that's

necessary anymore

Marya

You want to know why I'm

often here, don't you?

I like coming here

because of the children

They make me happy

Don't you have any?

I've been trying for 7 years

But still no luck

I want to know something too

Why are you always running?

I run so that I can breathe

So that I won't be

suffocated by guilt

My wife passed

away because of me

But now you've stopped

It's because of you

I don't want you to

pin your hopes on me

Marya, out of the millions

of people in the world,

why were we destined to meet, if

we weren't meant to be together?

Mr Sufi, someone's

here to see you
