Kamikaze is a fictional story about loss, grief and rediscovery.

If you are dealing with mental health issues

or experiencing suicidal feelings,

speak to someone you trust or contact a helpline.

I've been flying nonstop for two weeks and I'm still alive.

I did not crash.

And I did not give up.

The world's longest flight is from Singapore to Newark, New Jersey.

It's about 19 hours.

But more flights bring more opportunities. Of crashing.

Most crashes happen within the same nine minutes of the flight.

The first three minutes after take-off.

And the last 6 minutes of the landing before the plane stops.

My family's plane crashed mid-air.

I don't know how my trip will end...

- Beautiful. - Yes.

I'm going to visit my grandson who moved to Canada two years ago.

And what about you? Where are you going?

I'm just flying, watching the earth from above.

Do you remember to write or call home once in a while?

You know how parents worry.

I call my dad at his office. He's a very busy lawyer.

But when I call he always answers his phone right away.

Hi, darling.

And then he just wants to chit chat about...

So, where are you?

...what I'm doing and how I am and stuff like that.

- Okay. - Just to get a little break.

It feels so weird...

I'm happy to hear that.

It feels weird when you're not at home.

It's wonderful.

Do you believe in God?

Which one are we talking about?

Just the concept of God. Do you feel he is there... or she?

I've never needed a God.

LAVATORY VACANT - OCCUPIED

Dear God...

Although I don't know how dear you are.

I need your help.

You and I need to make a deal.

You have never helped me, but I've also never needed your help before.

This is your chance.

I'd prefer that you make the plane crash.

Just take my life.

You are able to do something like that, right?

A plane crash with only one fatality would look good on your resume.

Even yours.

Do you need help, ma'am?

- What? - You were crying.

Am I?

Were you having a bad dream?

Do you suffer from aviophobia?

- From what? - Fear of crashing. Come with me.

Thank you so much.

I miss... summer.

Summer. Well, soon it's spring time.

What do you think happens to us when we die?

I'm Catholic so I believe in the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

And I hope I'm going to heaven when the day comes.

Right here, between heaven and earth.

Here I'm neither dead nor alive.

Sorry, I just need to lift your tray, thank you.

Sorry, ma'am? Excuse me?

I need you to prepare for landing, please.

Thank you. Are you finished with this? I'll take that.

If you could put your tray away that would be great. Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to London Heathrow airport.

Please remain seated

until the fastened seatbelt sign has been turned off.

You may now make or receive calls

as well as use data services on your handheld electronic devices.

When it's safe to leave your seat

take care when opening the overhead lockers.

Items may have moved and can fall out and cause injuries.

Before leaving the aircraft

please make sure you have all of your personal belongings.

Remember that smoking is not permitted

until you have reached the designated area.

If your journey ends here at Heathrow,

please follow the yellow signs through arrivals upon leaving the aircraft.

Thank you.

Hi. Excuse me?

I have a ticket with this plane to Paris in one hour and twenty minutes.

- Could I be allowed to stay onboard? - I'm afraid not.

I checked in online. And I only carry hand luggage.

Look, I'm very sorry, madam, but it's not possible for our airline

to go against international security guide lines.

Okay? Madam, I need you to leave.

Madam, I need you to leave the plane now.

If I have to call security you won't be getting that next flight at all.

It's the third day, and I...

I have just a little less than two water bottles left.

But I've decided not to drink it as that'll just prolong the agony.

I guess...

So that's the plan now.

Like this.

A disproportionate number of plane crashes happen in Africa.

This is due to unstable societies, old planes and poor maintenance.

And challenging weather conditions.

Welcome to Camembe Air. We hope you enjoy your flight.

You knew that very well, dad.

Even so you brought mum and Tom onto a rattling domestic flight.

...your seat to upright position.

In the unlikely case of an emergency, oxygen masks will automatically...

The text you sent when you realised the plane was crashing...

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry. Can I hold your hand?

Now I know that you knew you didn't stand a chance.

...yet amidst the panic you were prescient enough to think of me.

Think about my reaction. Think about how my life would be.

It's devastating knowing that.

WE'RE CRASHING. LOVE YOU. DO WHAT YOU WANT. DAD.

Mum.

Dad.

...and Tom.

See you soon.

We apologise for the bad turbulence. We are now flying into calmer weather.

When you look at the statistics

it's absolutely ridiculous to be afraid of flying.

You'd have to fly every day for 29 years

before it would be more likely to end up in a fatal plane crash.

Right now I don't know whether to believe in statistics or in God.

Dear God...

Eat shit!

This is an announcement for passengers to Singapore. We start boarding.

Miss Julie Holm Fosberg, please go to gate 24 A

where your flight is boarding to Singapore.

Gates are closing soon.

Paralyzed.

Frozen.

Last call for Julie Holm Fosberg, gates are closing.

Sorry, ma'am, but you don't happen to be Julie Holm Forsberg?

Julie Victoria Holm-Forsberg is cancelled.

Annulled.

Out of service.

And alone.

Creepy.

Get out!

Listen, get out from there.

Hello.

Come. Can I please see your boarding pass, ma'am?

I had a boarding pass yesterday but I missed the flight.

I can just... I can show you...

I had to spend the night because I'm waiting... for another plane.

- How long have you been here? - Not long.

I tell you, you have been seen around the premises for three days now.

Either you are homeless or you have mental issues.

Either way, you are not allowed to be here and I am here to kick you out.

- Are you kidding? - Come.

Mister, I have a boarding pass on my phone. Please?

Come on.

- I'm serious, please? - Come on.

- Please? - Come on.

- I have a boarding pass in my phone. - Come on.

Go out.

Paralyzed.

Frozen.

Fright. Flight. Freeze.

The three F's.

We have patterns of reaction.

They lie deep within us. Primeval instincts.

They are activated when we feel threatened.

The threat may also be due to stress or sudden misfortune.

Those are the three things that hit us.

Those are our three choices. We fight,

run away...

Or we freeze. You know. Stop.

Now I've been frozen for three days.

How long does it take to get through the third F?

Why didn't Psycho Bo tell me about the fourth F?

If monkeys panic because the forest is on fire...

They fornicate.

There's also the post-war generation. It's big.

People have a lot of sex during war.

No one is able to explain why.

It's the nature of things.

Or God's.

Eros.

Fight...

Flight...

Freeze... Fuck.
