NEXT EXIT
The world is forever changed when Dr. Stevenson (Karen Gillan) announces that she has discovered undeniable proof of the afterlife and invites those eager to leave this world to partake in her new, ethically questionable Life Beyond study. For Rose (Katie Parker), the experiment offers a chance to leave behind her guilt-ridden past. Yet for the often self-deprecating Teddy (Rahul Kohli), the unusual opportunity means finally finding a purpose in his aimless life. When the two find themselves driving a rental car westbound across the U.S., they will have to continually challenge not only the reasons for the trip, but also why the bickering travelers remain together. In this intimate film with big, celestial ideas, Elfman perfectly balances levity and the macabre as Rose and Teddy must first deal with the absurdity of this life before reaching the next one.
