Synopsis

The film follows five simultaneous, loosely linked plot lines, that intertwine and scramble together. A man keeps killing his wife and burying her in the woods only to find her alive, furious, and waiting for him when he returns home. A suburban family's life is disrupted when the father is permanently hypnotized into believing he is a bird and tries to learn how to fly. A trio of aimless youth pass time by burgling houses. A murderous advertising executive tries to imagine ideas for commercials. The stories clash together through the intervention of a thuggish hitman and his translator.

Cast

Survive Style 5+ was shown at the Locarno Film Festival on August 6, 2004.
