Escape from Paradise Page #2

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.

- I can't open it.

- Leave it.

No, we have to see what's inside.

- It might be nothing.

- There has to be something.

- You'll never open it.

- Sure I will.

Damn it.

I did it!

Look what's inside.

- See, I was right.

- It's a micro-video disc.

What are you doing with

that old player?

- What are you doing?

- What do you mean? I want to see.

Your father will be upset.

That's my father's voice!

But how do I decode it?

Just type in anything.

Come on, hurry.

Look at all those people.

What could it be?

It looks like a game

Do you notice something strange?

It's true, they're playing,

but they're all together.

And the ones who are watching,

and they're all there together...

How is that possible?

I don't know.

Why didn't my father ever

tell me about this?

Wait, let's try another code.

It looks like images from the simulator.

- What are they?

- 'Bear', what a strange word.

- They aren't things, they move.

- They're alive.

They're not human beings,

and they're all together as well, look!

They look like big mirrors resting

on the ground.

- Look, one of Golem's ancestors.

- Yes, but you can only see its feet!

They're men and women.

Where are they all going together?

And these, look.

They look like they're glued together.

What's that?

It's floating around a sphere.

What is it?

I've never seen colors like that.

It's so blue.

It looks like my toy.

Are they human beings as well?

Of course,

can't you see their structure.

It doesn't make sense.

Where are they?

Are they all in one sector?

- No, it's impossible.

- Try another code.

No, it's impossible,

it's all fake.

You mean it's a simulation?

Yes, it's all an illusion...

Dreams.

I never dreamt of stuff like that.

Me neither.

- Can you record dreams and illusions?

- It looks like it.

...no, nothing.

You can go.

You should be careful, Eliseo and

Sara could return at any moment.

Okay, okay.

Well, Eliseo?

Yes, yes...

- Just wait and see.

- President.

The medallion,

I don't have my medallion.

Where did you leave it?

I think I left in the bedroom.

Wait, I'll try another code.

What are they digging for?

What could it be?

Waste system...

Hey, that's where I live!

It's a map of all the sectors.

- Theo, we could...

- No, stop it...

We only leave our sector

when we die.

I want to meet you...

I want to break out of this screen.

It's madness, Beatrice.

I know, but I want to feel

your warm hands...

...and touch your skin.

Look, sector 27,

that's yours...

...and here's mine,

sector 7.

- Then we're close.

- And we didn't know.

Look, that's your tunnel,

and that's mine...

And they both lead to tunnel three.

- But, where are the entrances?

- Mine is in the kitchen...

- I guess yours is too.

- I've never seen it...

But I'm sure Golem will know

where it is.

You trust him?

Yes, I know his circuits like

the back of my hand.

- Then ask him.

- What? Like that, now?

Sure, right away!

I was looking for you.

The medallion!

- They're back!

- What's going on?

The elevator light just came on.

They're coming back.

I'll call you later.

- What's wrong, Eliseo?

- I forgot the medallion.

- Damn it, my father took the medallion.

- It doesn't matter, we know the way now.

How long will the dinner last?

They should be away for

a few more hours.

- Two hours will be enough.

- Yes, but we must be careful.

- I can't bear to watch.

- That's enough!

Are you having fun?

Do you like it?

It's the surprise highlight

of the evening!

Just be careful,

don't stay out too long...

- It could be dangerous.

- Don't worry, I thought it through...

I'll be ten minutes at the most.

Ready, Theo.

Don't be long.

You're a real friend, Golem.

This one isn't open.

It's stuck, Golem!

It's okay,

I'll open that one as well.

- Now I have to deactivate you.

- I don't think you should do that.

But I have to do it.

Then you can say you tried to stop me...

...and I deactivated you.

Go on, turn around.

You had better not get into

trouble, Theo...

It's closing again.

Curse them.

A**holes... Bastards!

- You're even more beautiful in real life!

- You too.

I was scared you wouldn't come.

Feel.

Now we can be together

when we want.

At night as well?

Yes... When everyone's asleep!

Perhaps we should go back now.

Harry only gave us ten minutes.

But, next time, remember to

put on the other shoe.

But I didn't forget it,

I used it to keep the door open...

Here, in the tunnel.

I didn't think about it.

Let's go, it might still be open.

- Damn it.

- It's locked.

It's pointless.

- Listen!

- What is it?

I don't know.

Let's go.

We should go to my sector.

- Did you hear those screams?

- Yes.

- I'm scared.

- I never heard them before...

They're monstrous!

Wait for me.

That's the kitchen.

It's all wet.

Careful, it's slippery.

- I can't do it.

- Give me your hand.

I can't do it!

We have to make it.

- Come on.

- I'm trying.

It's closing!

Eliseo...

Do something.

It's terrible!

Calm down, we'll find him.

He can't have gone far.

We have to find him before

it's too late.

He'll be contaminated if he

goes outside, he'll die!

He'll die!

- My son has disappeared.

- What?

- But how could he?

- Find him and bring him back inside.

Of course!

Don't worry.

I'll shut down all the terminals.

It won't take more than

fifteen minutes, don't worry.

But I'd just like to say that

it isn't so bad...

- It has happened before.

- Yes, okay, Thor...

But nothing irreparable has

happened this time...

You know the atmosphere is

normal in the tunnels.

I understand,

I understand...

Did you hear?

Theo will be back soon.

Don't be upset,

there's no reason.

Call Mrs. Landish, her daughter

might know something.

I need a tranquilizer first.

Let Harry decide if you can take one.

Don't stop.

Run.

Be careful.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

Remember to leave in half an hour.

- Another tunnel.

- It looks different to the others.

I feel cold.

My legs are shaking.

- I'm scared.

- Wait, I'll go first.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Where are we?

- Shall we keep going?

- Yes.

It looks like a screen,

but it's so bright.

Listen, Beatrice,

maybe we should go back...

We have to think of

a way to get back inside.

Let's wait for them to take

out the refuse.

It's true...

But look over there.

Let's see what that light is.

What is this stuff?

It's dirty... it's sticky.

There's enough space to get through.

- We're picking up an audio signal.

- 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
