The actor committed suicide by cutting his wrists after breaking up with his girlfriend. The world you go to after death is very similar to the world when you are alive. It also requires food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and all of this also requires money. So the protagonist went to work in a pizzeria. The store manager helped him find a shared house, but the male protagonist always violated the rules set by the roommate, so they didn't get along very well. One day, the actor met Eugene in a bar. Eugene was a pop singer before his death. The two of them became friends. Eugene invites the male protagonist to dinner at home. It turns out that Eugene's whole family committed suicide, and everything is in this world. The male protagonist has been missing his girlfriend, but because of the separation of Yin and Yang, there is no way. But one day I saw a friend who came here because of suicide in the supermarket, and learned from him that his girlfriend also committed suicide, so she is here too. So the actor asked Eugene to borrow a car to find his girlfriend, and Eugene drove with him. There was a black hole under the passenger seat of Eugene's car, and no matter what fell into it, it disappeared. The two of them searched aimlessly. On the road, they met the heroine for a ride. The heroine told them that she died of a drug overdose, not suicide, so she had to find the person in charge here and resurrect herself. The three searched all the way, but there was no clue. One day in a restaurant, Eugene told the hero that he wanted to get rid of the heroine, but was heard by the heroine and left in anger. The male protagonist and Eugene also came to the gas station to refuel. They saw that the female protagonist was caught by the police because of the bad sign, so they went to intercede and the police released the female protagonist. Later, the male protagonist found his girlfriend's contact information at the gas station, so he brought the female protagonist to look for the address together, and found that his girlfriend had moved out. The three of them started searching aimlessly. On the road at night, the car crashed by avoiding a person sleeping in the middle of the road. They woke the man, and the man took them to a camp that was run by the man. While living in the camp, the male protagonist finds that everyone except himself can have a little super power, but it doesn't help in real life. The camp operator told the male protagonist that he would have those superpowers only when he did not pursue them. At the camp, Eugene met a woman who lived in the North Pole before her death. The woman also liked music, and also revived Eugene's love for music. The camp operator's dog was lost, and it was later found with a cult leader who called himself a king. So the camp operator and the person who found the dog, as well as the hero and heroine, went to find the dog together, and went to see the leader perform a miracle. On the way, the male and female protagonists finally fall in love and spend one night at the seaside. The four went to the cult leader, and the camp operator took the dog back. The male protagonist finds out that his girlfriend is an assistant to the leader. Girlfriend told the actor that she committed suicide because the leader committed suicide . Later, the cult leader performed a miracle of suicide in front of many believers, and the camp operator was an undercover agent sent by the person in charge of this world. He had already notified the police in advance. As soon as the cult leader finished the performance, the police felt that the leader and the male protagonist were being separated from each other. His girlfriend was taken away, and other believers and spectators were dismissed. The heroine was also taken away by the police, because she had contacted the person in charge here, and it was checked that she did not commit suicide, so she was resurrected. The hero waited until it was dark and couldn't wait for the heroine to return, and Eugene drove to pick the hero back to the camp. The camp operator completes the task, so no more return to the camp, and the camp is closed. Eugene took the train away with the Arctic woman, went to the woman's house, and told the hero about the heroine before leaving. Eugene left the car to the hero. The hero drove aimlessly, stopped by a railway, and accidentally dropped a tape into the black hole, so he possessed himself to look for it in the black hole, and fell into black hole. The camp operator was transferred to work where the archives were managed, where he found the archives of the hero and heroine and took it, so the hero and heroine all survived. The male protagonist woke up after falling into a black hole and found himself lying on a hospital bed, and the female protagonist was lying on the bed next to him. He also woke up at this time, and the two smiled at each other.
The main moral of this film is to tell people that they can't escape by suicide, because maybe the world after suicide is worse, and they can no longer escape by suicide. According to Christianity, people who commit suicide go to hell. The hell in this film does not seem to be that terrible, there is no fire, no torture, just the same life as the human world, the difference is that it can no longer be escaped by suicide, no matter what happens, must be endured.
The world in the film is relatively free, except that smiling is not allowed, and there are not so many restrictions. Of course, there are powerful departments such as the police to maintain order. I feel that this world is much stronger than some societies on earth. If this is hell, then some societies on earth are much more terrifying than hell. Living in that kind of terrifying society, it is better to commit suicide into this world, at least here you will not be convicted for your words, and you will not be sentenced or murdered in order to complete the target. Only people who live in a freer society on earth will think this place is hell, but it shouldn't be too bad.
In the film, people in this world should be immortal and live this kind of life forever. Maybe this is torture, but this is also a good state of existence for some people and some others.
The camp operator knew the situation of the hero and heroine, and was a kind person, so it was indeed luck that they were resurrected. Although the heroine did not commit suicide, she also died. Even if she is not in this world, she should go to heaven instead of resurrection. It seems that everywhere there are acquaintances who are easy to handle, and there are multiple friends and multiple paths.
The black hole in Eugene's car, I don't know where it leads, I'm afraid it doesn't lead to the world. The male protagonist's resurrection through a black hole should just be a way to make him comatose. The heroine does not need to go through the black hole, but is like a simple customs passage. If you want to escape and enter the black hole in that world, you don’t know what will happen. Probably that is the real entry into hell.
If I can enter such a world after suicide, I feel very good, it is a good place for me to live.
