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.

we must go back to the supermarket.

We must hurry...

The tide will drop in an hour.

We must try.

I'll get the flamethrower,

wait here for me.

It's heavy.

It should still be hot.

Look.

There are only three of them...

- Just one burst.

- No, don't waste a drop of fuel.

They'll come looking for them.

- You hurry to the port.

- They'll kill you!

Do as I say!

I need you.

Go now.

Don't stop.

We have less than an hour.

The tide is dropping...

Go.

Farewell.

You're finished, monster.

I'm not a monster...

I'm a man!

There's no one here,

they're all on the ship.

The tide is dropping.

It's Theo.

He came back.

Theo, where are you?

These miserable beings...

...have been my ruin.

And now they want to run away...

And leave me all alone.

But they're fooling themselves...

The game...

...still hasn't finished.

Stop, I'm coming.

The flamethrower,

it fell in the water.

It doesn't matter.

I'll help you.

- Where's Beatrice?

- Relax, she's on board.

She's here,

but I don't know where.

Beatrice!

What are you going to do?

What do you want from us?

I want...

...my salvation...

In exchange for her life.

It's my last hope.

It's all meaningless,

let us go...

Let us go,

it's all over now!

The council, Harry, the lies...

My fight, your fight,

it's all meaningless.

No, no...

It isn't true.

Take me to the power station...

I'm sure you know where it is.

You father will have told you

before he died.

Okay...

Okay, let's go...

But you let Beatrice go!

Stop!

Help me.

I beg you!

You can't abandon me.

You, and your existence...

You've given my life new meaning,

on this terrible planet.

This man who has lived only

knowing the laws of hate...

Now, without his victims,

would have nothing to live for.

Revenge is a bitter fruit...

And death came swiftly to him.

It's burning!

Then you're Theo.

And where did Beatrice go?

Beatrice isn't with us anymore...

And I'm just a tired old man...

Who is waiting here for his daughter.

In these long solitary years...

I tried to find out about everything

there is to know about life...

But only now have I understood...

The simplest thing in the world...

That the truth about existence

is found in nature...

...and in the equilibrium of its laws...

...that govern the lives of

all human beings...

And they govern the cycle of

the universe.
