* WordSaladHumor: Played for drama. The plot includes such gibberish lines as "Well, I have to go to the skull!" It's also quite hard to figure out the plot because of the word-salad dialogue. Pretty much all that is distinguishable is that there is probably a love triangle between the three characters, one may or may not have gone to space, and he at least contemplates suicide.

It was produced as part of Sci-Fi London's 48 Hour film challenge and it's... well, it's kind of wierd. It's about an affair, we think? And a guy commits suicide?
