Suicide Club

Suicide Club

Deutschland 2009/2010, Spielfilm

Synopsis

At sunrise five people meet on a high-rise rooftop in order
to leap to their deaths. Five completely different mind sets.
None of them knows about the other as to why they want
to terminate their lives so abruptly. They don’t even know
each other’s names. The only bond that ties them together
in a tragic and bizarre way is knowing that at any minute
they are about to jump. But a chain reaction of absurd
situations is unfolding, forcing them to spend a whole day
waiting up on the roof until sundown. They are stranded
on an island, their own parallel universe surrounded by
and cut off from the hustle of the city. Initial dislike and
rejection of one another eventually turns into an unforeseen
alliance. All five of them experience a day they won’t
ever forget.
