Four strangers are waiting on the bus on a cold morning in Norway. Then someone dies. I am a huge believer for the less you know the better, so I wont say anything more about the synopsis. But I can say that in the movie I tried to answer one of my biggest irrational fears: “what will I do if a stranger dies in front of me” And the more I thought about it the more clear was my answer: that I did not know, only that it was going to be a big awkward disaster. So instead I wrote characters that represented what you should not do. the Women: the one that wants to do something but does not want to get involved herself. the Man that chooses to not do something. and the Child that knows what to do but can't communicate it. A trio of disasters. And to make matters worse, I put this whole situation on a bus stop in Norway. famously known for 3 meters distance and no talking. What could go wrong? Everything. simply, everything.
In my years of college I made two stop motion movies, Pink Pleasure Doome about an emo band and Death at the bus stop about death. Hopefully my next movie will not be so depressing. but I will not promise anything
