    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some scenes were improvised, for example, when Jeff advises Arnau to raise his collar and wear sunglasses since they make him look like "a pilot that drives jets".
    • Goofs
      When Darius is backing up the van to pick up Kenneth during the laser robbery, it is obviously a shot of the van driving forward (used a few shots later), but run backwards - exhaust goes into the tailpipe.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Kenneth: To go it alone, or to go with a partner. When you choose a partner, you have to have compromises and sacrifices, but it's the price you pay. Do I want to follow my every whim and desire as I make my way through time and space? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, do I need someone when I'm doubting myself and I'm insecure, and *my* heart's failing me? Do I need someone who, when the heat gets hot, has my back?

      Darius: So, do you?

      Kenneth: I do.

    This is a beautiful movie.
    You should just stop reading, right now and watch it.

    . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Didn't stop?

    The movie is slow, yet really nice and full of life. It is a rear gem.

    And yes, it is an SF.

    Now stop reading, and go watch it.

    There is nothing below this line.
