Glad it is not longer

Warning: Spoilers
What an utter waste of time. 2 people are connected via what appears to be breathing tubes. They walk around in a post-apocalyptic wasteland away from a city in ruins. A third person with a breathing device that is a stand alone unit with a countdown follows them. Then one of the two who a connected gets weak and the one connected to him tries to take the stand alone unit from the third person.

They fight. The unit changes hands but the countdown reaches 0 and all 3 persons die. The end.

That is essentially the whole movie. Nothing is described or explained. Why would anyone connect their breathing in the first place. That will always kill you. Why does the third person follow the 2 others if he is better off alone. Why do they not simple disconnect the weaker one and the two others could connect and keep going (as it seems this illogical connection keeps them alive). Waste of time. Good that it ls less than 10 minutes long.

Nicely made cyberpunk short

This very independent short film from Denmark takes place in an earth where environmental disasters have made air unbreathable. Three people in environmental suits are the only characters. Two shared a linked breathing tube, and one of them is apparently dying. They are stalked by a third, with an independent breathing apparatus - but why?

All this and more is conveyed in just a few minutes and without any dialog whatsoever. The superb setting and cinematography, solid acting and your imagination do the rest.

This is an excellent short science fiction film. I will look out for directors Jens Raunkjær Christensen and Jonas Drotner Mouritsen in the future.
