Nobody seems to get the humor of the situation these 2 guys created for themselves. Thats what makes it a comedy. A METEORITE falls out of the sky!! Directing traffic in the middle of nowhere, Getting stabbed with a stop sign, Taking off his shirt and pants to drag the rock and ending up in his underwear with his boots on. (PRICELESS)

You're right. To make this short film more believable they ought to have spent weeks and a huge amount of money creating a realistically sized crater.

It’s dark humor with a layer of civil service/construction dynamics. Two bored existential working class people trapped in a pointless situation nearly escaped an external interruption. They then go on to create a fantasy of wealth and escape for it to be their division and demise.

So many great lines, so many great scenes. And some verra nice cinematography. Oh, and music. Was that a real meteorite? Sure looked like it.

[@carpballet]

It was a real one. This is the story of novice films makers needing money and stumbling upon a meteorite. It’s based on a true story. And they stole the meteorite from nasa to stay authentic.

Lots of lessons learned here. Some dickhead instructed the bonehead to man a crossroad that wasn’t a crossroad which he should called bullshit on to begin with. Dumbo #1 . Gets there and should be able to tell for at least a mile a vehicle was coming before he stood up with the Stop Sign. Dumbo #2 Kid finds a Million dollars and disrespects his co worker Dumbo #3 Disrespected ck worker kills junior and has no plan to escape with the booty. Dumbo #4. Runs into the desert with the loot, no water, no food, no hope. Dumbo #5. Should have just went along with the kids offer. Best lesson though , don’t smoke, it makes you stupid.

It's called provenance and is always done on items of great value. One is very limited in one's potential buyers without provenance showing who originally owned it and every legitimate sale and purchase. There is still an extremely high number of priceless artworks in Germany inherited from parents and grandparents during and after the war. Some were stolen from their German possessor and taken to the Soviet Union. Many are in private collections around the world and never seen by anyone but their illegal possessors.

First off, point me out if I’m wrong but this can’t be a comedy whatsoever... at least, there wasn’t any funny moment to laugh. The dialogues all way up til the ending was more like a drama stuff. Whatever! The video has all necessary elements to be qualified as a good short such as nice dialogues, stunning and enchanting atmosphere, great shots, convenient and smoothing background sound. The weakest and l failing point was the climax poorly executed which everyone has mentioned here in the comments... what a shame
