Name: Zie 37 Stagen
Genre: Short
Duration: 23 min
Rating: 7.6
Cast: Thierry Frémont, Denis Mercier, Irina Movila

The dialogue is in "Eurobabble" but the meaning is usually clear or unnecessary.  A political assassin gets on an elevator with a general, in order to kill him.  The trip is more eventful than anyone, except the elevator operator, had planned:  they almost drown, they visit Valhalla and then Hades, a love triangle is created and then reconfigured...  The whole film is over-the-top, brilliantly creative and "black hilarious". Hardly any occurrence is predictable or even reasonable.  It is the in same vein as Monty Python's Flying Circus and compares well with the best of their efforts.  Warning:  some love it and some hate it.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
