Nathan and Daniel wake at the scene of a car crash, confused and seemingly unscathed. The two men begin to understand that they did not make it after all. They are dead. Nathan’s past acts will now determine his fate, however reprehensible they may have been. He will have to leave this earthly world and enter the depths of hell that await him for eternity.
Grimmfest Says: On a deserted mountain road, two men gradually realise they have both been killed in the same traffic accident and struggle to determine whether they deserve salvation or damnation. A psychopathic child living in the fairytale world of her own imagination commits a series of terrible crimes. A high-flying lawyer is unable to cope with the bitter reality of her neglected daughter’s suicide. And all the while, some terrible Beast struggles to be born… Not so much a Panorama of Hell, as a Portmanteau Purgatorio; Sartre with added Satan; an existential nightmare journey into the hells of other people. A visual and emotional tour de force, with cinematic and literary references ranging from Sartre to Angela Carter, Lovecraft to Lars Von Trier, this is truly bold, brutal, bravura filmmaking, utterly uncompromising, devoid of comfort or closure, offering a truly merciless vision of the grim reality of eternal damnation that even Dante might flinch from.
