Synopsis:

A man in a hotel. A newscaster. A corpse under a bedsheet which suddenly awakens and postulates the advent of “sudden destruction”. Speech is gushing out in the rhetorics of the apocalypse taking itself to the absurd. The quotes are taken from youtube videos of self-proclaimed evangelist prophets.
