A dark comedy about two exiled angels condemned to document every human suicide for eternity. The elder, once a high-ranking seraph who refused to carry out the Divine Flood, has lost all faith in God and he’s now jaded and bitter. The younger, cast out for a lesser sin, still dreams of returning to Heaven. As they wander through the wreckage of human despair, they question pain, faith and existence, between dark humour and profound reflection.

Una commedia nera su due angeli esiliati e condannati a documentare ogni suicidio umano per l'eternità. Il più anziano, un tempo un serafino di alto rango che si era rifiutato di eseguire il Diluvio Universale, ha perso la fede in Dio ed è ormai stanco e amareggiato. Il più giovane, scacciato per un peccato minore, sogna ancora di tornare in Paradiso. Mentre si aggirano tra i relitti della disperazione umana, si interrogano sul dolore, sulla fede e sull'esistenza, tra umorismo nero e riflessioni profonde.
