A reversed road movie
22 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
What a weird, strange movie. The topic is absolutely worth watched to be believed. An entire family: father, mother and three sons and daughters live just near an abandoned motorway, in the middle of nowhere. They are really happy, just like any family. And suddenly, the speedway opens again. And, of course, this will spoils everything in the quiet family's life. Just imagine.

A few sequences are unforgettable. Especially during a big traffic jam, on summer holiday, when thousands of tourists are forced to stop just in front of our family's home, when the elder daughter is lying on the lawn, sun tanning, in her bathing suit...

Or later, when the father decide to cross the motorway, carrying a big fridge, with the help of his sons and daughters. They must wait for the night and a lighter traffic to succeed in that perilous mission.

The ending of this incredible story is also baffling, - BEWARE SPOILER - and I would say painful, when the elder daughter, who "escaped" from her home, for the reason you can guess !!!, returns to see her parents, brother and sister, and finds the house totally bricked up, from the bottom to the top, with her family inside...

And she gets away, believing everyone went away too...

I felt an acid taste in my mouth.

Brrr....
