Angels of the Universe (1999)

Sobre o filme

Black humor comedy about a man ravaged by mental disease. This is the story of Paul, suffering from schizophrenia and the way in which people react to his condition. His childhood, his family, friends, and the girl he loves gradually reconstruct this man?s life. The disease takes a turn for the worse, and he is admitted into hospital where he meets with new, uncommon inmates: Óli Beatle who believes himself the author of all of the songs of the Beatles from whom he receives telepathic messages; Victor, sophisticated and erudite, who at times believes himself to be Hitler; and Peter, who lost his mind on a trip on acid and believes he is writing a doctorate thesis on Schiller at the University of China. Paul spends more of his time with Peter with whom he shares a room in this story based on the book of the same name by Einar Már Gudmundsson.
