Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Mark (Max Rudlinger) is a Swiss expert on bugs who boards a plane bound for Stockholm from Zurich in this fantasy adventure. When his plane explodes over the Baltic Sea, Mark inexplicably finds himself in Macao on the other side of the world. He discovers the happy but silent islanders are the dead, and the idyllic island is a purgatory that serves as a transition between eternity and life. Spectacular landscape photography of Switzerland, Denmark, and Macao is effectively used in the feature.
