Synopsis

A skater falls down from his board into a prehistorical past, and gets himself chased by a caveman.

Some words about "Urgh!"

Before shooting "Delusion", we had been planning what should be the koboldian blockbuster, "Die Nachtträum", to be shot during winter vacation (that means July in Brazil). It was a vampire movie, so most of the scenes were shot at night. One afternoon, waiting for the night to come to continue with our master piece, we decided to make a Quick Movie.

The original idea for this film would be sending the main character from the present to an apocalyptical future. The first scene, the passage from the present to the future, was filmed with this plot in mind. After shooting that, we had to figure out what would happen in this future, and we had to do it with the resources we had available at the time, which means basicly nothing.

After one hour thinking, we came out with the idea of putting a caveman into the story. The apocalyptical future became a prehistorical past.

Editing was very important for the effect of transporting the character from one time to another... and back, when this time travel turns out to be just his imagination.

Music, on its turn, helps conducting the story. New Order's sound track has got both the modern synthetizer and the primitive drums, fitting the context.
