Comatorium - A short film

Time to wake up... wake up... - Hi, mom. - Good morning Jaska. - How are we feeling today? - I'm great. I've got a new roommate. You sure have. He just woke up... maybe. That's great, later on you could get to know each other. And how are we doing over here? Can you remember what happened? - No, I can't - How about your name? Can't remember that either A little confusion is perfectly normal. It'll come back to you eventually. You have a nice ring there, are you engaged by any chance? Yes... yes I am Great, just take it easy and rest. The doctor and I will come back to see you shortly. - Bye mom - Byebye I'm not crazy, you know? I'm Jaska. Antti... Antti Suupuro. See? You remembered your name just fine. - So I did. Do you have any idea how long I've been here? Who knows, It feels to me that you've been here all your life. Could be. You wouldn't happen to have any food, would you? Are you hungry? I'm famished. Wait, Ive got just the thing... Sure beats the crappy food they serve in this place. Ain't that the truth. Hello, Jaska. How are we feeling? Fine, Doctor. Just fine. And over here? Pretty ok. Sure sure. we're gonna need to keep you under observation for the night... ...and run some tests. - What's this for? Just a little something to help you sleep Fine. His brain activity is diminishing... ...his mind is deteriorating. I know it's hard, but a decision must be made. There, do you need help? No. Where did you get that? Oh, you mean this ring? Yes. Why do you have it? It's my engagement ring, isn't it lovely? Don't you remember, honey? I... I have a headache. I'll go get you something for that. I'll be right back. Such a shame. I liked this one. You think they're going to go through with it? The decision's probably been made, they're going to pull the plug. You should really wake up... soon there'll be nothing left... In here. Anyone home? Is this a dream? Who knows? Does this feel like a dream? I don't know. What should a dream feel like? Like this. Do you need another minute? Is there really no one else we could call? There isn't, not anymore. Antti's brother Jaska was the closest family he had. they did everything together. But Jaska died a year ago, in this very same hospital. What happened? A car accident... Antti was driving... Jaska's skull was fractured. He hanged in there for a few days, before eventually dying in a room just like this one. Antti became a different person, distant and indifferent. I think that was part of the reason he jumped. I'm sorry. The time has come. I can't...
