Mr. Zimit heeft een bijzonder experiment in petto voor zijn klas van twintig internationale studenten in Bangkok. Filosofie is hun laatste college voor de vakantie en hij heeft een heftige gedachteoefening bedacht. Een opdracht die het uiterste van hun morele besef en overlevingsdrang vergt. Wat als er een atoombom valt en er is slechts ruimte voor 10 van hen in een schuilkelder? Welke keuzes maak je; wie moet er naar binnen en wie laat je buiten. Kies je de student die later concertpianist wordt? Of de econoom? Of toch degene die neurowetenschapper wordt? Wat is er nodig om de beschaving weer op te bouwen na de apocalyps? En vooral; welke rol speelt Zimit en waar past hij in de keuzes die de studenten moeten maken? (Dutch FilmWorks)

An absolutely brilliant idea. The world is facing a nuclear apocalypse, and the teacher has twenty students. Ten of them (that's 10 out of 21) have a secure place in the bunker. The others must remain outside. Either they will be killed, or they will wait for the approaching radioactive fallout. Who will the others pick? How will they decide? Who has the right to live and who does not? It’s a great idea, but eventually, any sense and any truly meaningful message vanished from it. The final discovery then becomes just the icing on the cake for this intriguingly unfolding film.

Tune in to IQ FM and delve into intellectual debates on life and survival. It’s actually not so bad, you just have to accept a few words of nonsense your brain will refuse to get over. Mainly the fact that this class in Jakarta doesn’t seem to contain a single actual Indonesian person. It’s more like pretty chicks and male models from Beverly Hills 90210. It looks as if they were all made of plastic. I also think that since they’re all studying philosophy, they could have done a better job thinking about survival. For the entire time, I couldn’t shake the feeling that none of the people were able to defend themselves. But in the end, the girl approached the thing from a different perspective that the teacher (and myself for that matter) didn’t think of and surprisingly, I found her idea quite interesting. That’s why I’m giving this movie a three-star review.
