Escape from Paradise Page #3

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.

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?

No...

We have to get out of here...

No matter what.

- It's not easy.

- Don't say that.

We have to be really strong.

Yes.

What's this?

It looks a monster skeleton.

Let's rest for a while.

It's so hot.

Yes, but it doesn't feel right.

It's so coarse,

what a strange substance.

It looks like a never-ending screen.

Beatrice!

Look...

- What is that?

- I don't know.

We need to ask Harry.

It's so big.

Come here.

Let's go and see what it is.

Where are we?

We really could use Harry now.

- Are you still cold?

- Yes.

You'll see, we'll make it back home.

What is it?

- There's someone here.

- Where?

I don't know,

I heard a voice.

You got it wrong,

it's just the wind.

What's that?

It's a small box.

What's inside?

- It has 'Meat' written on it.

- Meat?

And there's something inside it.

Look.

It's disgusting!

Come on, Theo,

let's get out of here.

What kind of meat was inside the box?

It was a very old box.

They only ate synthetic food

down there...

Animals didn't exist down there.

The only meat they knew

was human meat!

Let's see what's down here.

I need to rest.

Yes, come on.

What were all these holes for?

There's nothing here,

it's all destroyed.

- I can't feel my feet.

- We can't stop now.

Our blood will stop circulating.

- It's like a labyrinth.

- Yes, it all looks the same.

How strange.

It looks like Golem's ancestor.

- All those buttons.

- Remember, we saw it on the screen.

I didn't think those kids would

make it this far.

- Alex.

- Yes, commander.

- Take some men and check out the port.

- Okay.

- We'll meet at Arless square.

- Okay.

Be careful, that zone is

radioactive down there...

Take this detector with you.

- So you helped him?

- Yes, Eliseo.

Those kids have chosen each other,

I think they're compatible.

Compatible!

- What do you know about compatibility?

- I helped because I want him to be happy.

But he's in danger instead!

- They can die out there.

- You can't die in the tunnels.

- That's a lie!

- Calm down.

You showed him how to get out.

It's against the law,

and you knew that.

- You'll be punished for this.

- I know, Eliseo.

And you also know what

I'll do to you, right?

Yes, you will disconnect

my logic circuits...

I won't be able to think anymore.

Sarah, don't let yourself down...

You cannot know that another

world exists outside.

You cannot know.

- Is that clear?

- Call Thor...

Please call him.

They're so cold and stiff.

They look like fake people.

There are shoes here,

and clothes.

Let's get changed.

Are you crazy?

Don't play tricks like that.

Look at that, isn't it funny?

Look at this.

It's so beautiful, so bright!

Glory to God in the heavens,

and eternal peace to mankind.

Who is this God?

Someone who isn't on earth,

it seems.

Let's look for something to eat.

Otherwise we'll die of hunger.

Are you cold?

They all lived together in this world.

I guess Harry allowed them to.

You know something...

Those images we saw...

The people playing with the ball...

And the others watching them.

It wasn't an illusion,

it was all real.

Do you understand what

I'm trying to say?

The world is bigger than we thought...

Or what they wanted us to believe.

But it's a mess.

Perhaps, once,

it was all different.

But I still miss my big screen...

My sector...

And our little world.

- Listen, what time is it?

- It's probably around eleven.

What is it?

Tell me.

Hold me close.

I'll protect you.

Search the tower, someone

might be hiding in these holes.

Okay.

What time is it?

Twelve... Stop asking me the

time every five minutes.

What was that? I've never

heard a sound like that before.

Let's go back.

We can rest here.

I'll help you.

Come on, Bear.

I'm exhausted.

I didn't know people had a flavor.

Yours is nice.

What's wrong, Bear?

Behave.

What is it?

What's happening?

Someone was spying on us.

Open it...

- There's no one there.

- I saw him, he was just there...

And he was looking at us.

- See? There's no one here.

- I tell you I saw him.

- Does it hurt?

- What?

- Your head?

- No, it's nothing.

They're fierce people...

They'll kill anyone,

they cut them to pieces...

And they put their meat

in tins and eat it.

Let's go.

I found this, commander.

Good...

My compliments.

We might have found them, sir.

If you don't hurry, the kids

will absorb too much radiation

I'm doing everything I can, sir...

But this place is going

to be hell soon...

The clouds are thick with sulfur,

and it's raining...

If it gets worse,

this rain will become pure acid.

Hurry, Thor... Hurry!

Sara...

They still haven't found them,

but Thor is sure he will.

We must have faith.

Councilor, have they found them?

Mrs. Landish... Not yet, but the

platoon has located them, don't worry.
