Supriseville

Supriseville_720px.jpg
In the middle of the desert in Arizona lies a magical little town, Surprise. It is protected by a perimeter wall; everything is clean, quiet and safe. There is no need to leave home, or to stumble upon neighbours. Children do not get kidnapped, old ladies don’t get mugged and the streets feel benevolent.
 
Although the residents firmly claim to be happy, something seems off. The film’s ten minutes do not reveal what lies beneath the surface. Still a doubt sticks to your stomach.
