Castaway on the Moon...a great story of survival!
6 May 2010
This story is about a young man, who has lost his will to live, and decides to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. He jumps out, and falls into the water, only to wake up some time later, washed up on the shore of an island in the middle of the city, under a bridge.

When he finally comes to his senses again, he decides that he wants to live, and tries to escape the island, but there is apparently no way out, except by boat.. and he doesn't have a boat. After a while, he realizes that there is no way off the island, so he decides to just survive on the island until he'll be rescued.. it's probably going to happen sooner or later, so he just makes himself comfortable until that day.. but he waits.. and waits...and waits.. until he suddenly gets a note from a lonely girl who has been watching him from her house for some time, thinking that he's an alien that has been sent from space to keep her company. Through messages in the sand and by bottle-mail they exchange words (in the "alien" English-language for some reason), and develop a tight relationship, despite the distance between them.

I found the film to be very entertaining, as the main character is a very funny actor, and the script always finds new ways to come up with creative solutions to everyday issues (when living on a deserted island), and the love story between the two weirdos is also quite moving, with a good surprise ending to finish the film on a high note.
