My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?
2005 · Movie · 117 min. · Japan
AD 2015. The world's major cities are decimated by a terrible plague, a highly contagious virus that fills those it infects with unbearable dread, then with overwhelming despair. This fatal disease, without a cure, is called the Lemming Syndrome. In an isolated country mansion, two musicians, Nizui and Asuhara, live in seclusion. They devote themselves to the creation of pure sound, far from the trappings of fame and success they knew in the corrupt and dangerous city. They are visited by an ageing plutocrat, his desperately sick daughter and a detective, who believes that in the music made by Mizui and Asuhara lies the seed of hope that the old man's daughter can be saved. In the vast, changeless stillness of nature, the musicians begin to play.
