Escape from Paradise Page #5

Synopsis: A giant turtle floats through space and reads its book. He meets Adam and Eve, who take over the book and rip the still empty pages from it. But by doing so they set free all unwritten ideas from which objects begin to grow and fill the world of Adam and Eve. When eventually these objects take over their world, Adam and Eve escape. They will end where they started, meeting a giant turtle who shuts his book. It is a film about technological development and man's control or loss of control over it. It is about man's wish for more, faster, better and newer and about losing control over an ever - and fast changing world filled with ideas, plans and inventions.

- How is that possible?

The platoon shouldn't be outside

for another twenty minutes.

Seal all the exits...

If Thor finds out they were

open he'll crucify us.

Let's go back.

- Hurry up.

- I can't move!

I can feel my heart beating strangely.

It's pointless, Theo,

we're locked out.

It's our punishment.

We just have to wait.

I'm sure they'll send a rescue

party out for us.

Alex, come here immediately,

it's urgent.

Ready for external deployment.

Tonlan's boy has run away

with the Landish girl...

And the councilor has ordered

me to find them...

- ... and bring them back here.

- The law is quite clear...

Whoever goes outside,

stays outside.

Unless the council...

Tonlan hasn't informed the

council about what happened...

So, we're going outside now,

we're going to find them...

And we'll take them back

to their sectors.

And, from that precise moment,

councilor Tonlan will be in our hands.

You haven't changed.

Tie it first.

Alex...

What life we have left,

we must live it as free men...

Without the threat of decontamination.

- Sure, like them.

- Like them? Who?

They're buried alive.

They are the perpetuation of agony.

They forget what man was

once capable of.

They don't know anything anymore.

They don't have fears,

they don't have passions...

They don't exist.

They're reduced to a larval

simulacrum...

...of what real men used to be.

No...

Only us,

with our suffering...

We represent life.

- What is that?

- I don't know.

- Careful, don't trust it.

- It looks so tame.

Yes, but it might be a dangerous monster.

- But we're bigger.

- Come on, let's get up close.

Are you friend or foe?

State your intentions.

Stop where you are!

- It doesn't look like

it has bad intentions.

- Yes, but

I don't trust it.

What could it be?

It looks like one of those

things I saw on the screen...

What was it called...

Bear...

...or penguin, or something like that,

I don't remember.

Ask it some questions.

But it can't talk,

it's too young.

Look.

- What is that smell?

- I don't know.

Let's go back.

Those men will be out of the tunnel soon.

This place frightens me.

No, there's still time.

Please... Let's go back.

Beatrice!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Give me your hand, quick...

It's following us.

Are you injured?

- Lift up your head.

- My nose.

It's moving.

We have to go up,

not down.

We have to stop it.

We'll never make it.

What can I do to stop it?

I'm scared, Theo!

You have to stop it.

I can't.

We only have fifteen minutes

before the gate closes.

Where are you going?

Jump.

Please say something!

What time is it?

It's seven.

We're in big trouble.

Are you scared?

Aren't you?
