影片讲述了五个相互交织的故事。六个角色出现在阿姆斯特丹,他们有的是出于自愿,有的则是纯属偶然地搬到了这里。除了都远离自己的出身地之外,他们看似没有任何共同之处。尽管如此,在最黑暗的时刻,他们给彼此的生活带来了深刻的影响。如果你不喜欢科长的《天注定》,你也不会喜欢这部荷兰的申奥片。Paradise Suite这个词是指宾馆房间里的性交易受害者被逼着满足客户的需求。这是吉雅那条线的故事,也是这部电影最重要的一条故事线。也喻指这些移民眼里的“欧洲梦”,只是套房里的事情,并不像名字听上去这么美好。
SynopsisIn the Allegory of the Cave, Plato ponders: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and escape from the cave? What if that prisoner were Jay, a little 7-year-old boy?Director’s statementWhat lies behind the daily movement of a city? Last winter, we met in Paris and began discussing the Allegory of the Cave, as told in Plato’s Republic. The myth imagines humanity living in chains, facing the back of a cave, and watching shadows move on the walls, thinking it is reality. We both work with images, which certainly can be illusions, but can also become instruments of struggle and liberation of thought. So, from this discussion, we decided to create a short film. We had a few fixed ideas—the cave, the dance, the city bustling around us—and one question: what would happen if we all managed to turn together towards the exit of the cave? Perhaps it is not enough to assert that images are illusions as long as the chains that bind us are real.
