A dark, poetic tale of death and existence set in a large, international airport. An airplane has serious problems but cannot reach the control tower, the pig employees are engrossed in a reality series. A pushy slug seller in the duty-free shop tries to sell deeply immoral products. A dolphin barista at an exorbitantly expensive Smoothie bar loses his mind. A mysterious figure moves in the periphery, soon ready to get us all.

Statement of the director:
With THE END, I want to push the boundaries and fully exploit artistic freedom. The mood should be consistently unpredictable. Through the use of music, sound design, and editing, the story will vary in tone and pace when least expected. A scene that may initially seem humorous can quickly shift to menacing, and vice versa.
