Based on Buñuels Exterminating Angel (1962), this experimental feature film tells the story of five actors, stuck between fiction and seeming reality of a studio filmset. After the whole crew disappears and a boozy night in the studio, the left behind find themselves in the archaic equivalent of the scenery: a secluded cottage in the mountains of tuscany. Set back to themseslves, their roles and without catering „being professional“ turns out to be no adequate survival strategy…

Simply Perfect
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
