"Sadness will last forever."
That's what Van Gogh said to him brother, Theo, before he died.
For Nietzche, suicidal thoughts are extraordinary comfort,
shelter someone can have a good night.
Maybe that's why, every year, dozens of people come here.
Far from everything, and everyone,
so that sadness ends.
Sadness will last forever.

The Forest of Lost Souls
Suicide.
A little privacy, please!
With such a large forest, You must choose my place.
Sorry, I haven't seen you. I will go.
Don't you think you're too young to kill yourself?
Damn you, old man!
Who killed himself with a knife? Are you fucking Japanese?
Get away!
Let me recommend you a place for your "right-left"?
Don't say you're crazy.
Listen, if I want to be insulted,
I will stay at home, with my wife and daughter,
who's about your age and just as rude as you.
If I come here, it's because I don't want to deal with that.
I want peace. Leave me alone, okay?
I'm sorry, okay?
Why do you want to kill yourself with your age?
What can you do wrong so you can't fix it?
The future is no more than that from old age, illness and pain.
- I'm not interested. - What's the cliche?
Are you one of those arrogant teens and artists?
- A "Herster"? - A hipster?
- Yes. - You are very lame.
Did you know that according to Conviction Theory,
I come far more prepared than you. - Conviction Theory?
Yes, from the book "A Long Way Down", by Nick Hornby.
You can find it anywhere. I am not a hipster because I read it, okay?
I know the book, but I don't understand what you mean.
A knife? What are the possibilities are you raving out?
Do you bring alternative suicide methods?
- No. - Poison.
- Sweet and psychotropic. - Good points.
You are a smart girl.
Do you carry a suicide note?
Did you know that 90 percent of people who end up not doing it
back down because they did not bring a suicide note,
and don't have pens and paper?
You're exaggerating, but I understand what you mean.
- Do you bring one? - Of course.
That will make everyone feel guilty. He even has pictures.
You're right. I have to write one.
Can you lend me some paper, and a pen?
I still think it's a stupid idea, You want to kill yourself.
We will discuss this again, okay?
You may not smoke.
What's the difference? I will die soon.
This is the most stupid way to kill yourself.
Slow and painful death.
What's wrong with you?
You are the same age as my daughter.
Writing this has dropped me.
I know that might sound ridiculous,
but you cannot kill yourself with a heavy heart.
Do you not want to take a walk, and see the "Forest of Lost Souls"?
- What can be seen here? - Dead.
Come on. Let's see what we can find.
Wait.
What are you doing?
You don't need to whisper. No one can hear us here.
It's easier than a knife, right? What do you think?
You are very immature. It is not funny.
Calm down. Forgive me.
I think you still chose the method.
Now you steal?
What's the difference between him? Or for you?
This is my long-term suicide plan. Lung cancer.
This is not the first time You have come to this forest
and take a walk, right? - Not.
I am hesitant by nature. I came, I left.
I changed my mind. I am back.
- That's why you are so ready. - You can say I'm an expert.
Do you always steal what you find here?
That's not stealing. No one cares about what items die here.
Or about these people, by the way.
- But still... - Don't humble.
Everyone comes here for a reason.
Even me and you.
I feel very stupid now.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Can we go see the dead now, "Father"?
Sadness will last forever.
Why do some people want to commit suicide at this age?
You think all ages are bad. Too young, too old.
- Only you can do it. - Don't be childish.
Maybe it's not suicide. Have you thought about that?
During fascism, the old one was left here to die.
Maybe they did it again because of the crisis.
And how should it be to cheer me up?
At least it will convince you life is not a privilege.
What is that?
- Baby food? - You really aren't ready.
Just imagine you stayed here until night,
with all your doubts. You will be hungry.
You won't want to starve to death, right?
This is the first step for you to retreat.
makes sense.
Like I said, Theory of Conviction says you are not sure at all.
How do you appear with baby food?
This is small and cheap.
When I go to Summer Festival I always take a few bottles.
That way I just spend on alcohol and drugs.
As a father, I admire your management skills,
but curse your bad choice. - Thank you very much, "father".
This place is amazing, isn't it?
Do you know "The Sorrows from Young Werther"?
No.
It's about a boy who looks like himself in a love triangle between him,
her lover and best friend.
He loves them very much that he finally committed suicide
so they can be together.
It's a stupid decision.
The worst part is that they didn't even attend the funeral.
This works correctly.
For me, the point is: no one cares.
A sensitive and poor soul You find here care.
This world is not made for them.
For girls your age, You read too many sad things.
And I smoke.
Not every day you get for photographing sadness personally.
How rude! Are you shooting dead people?
- What? Not! Its bad. - You do not?
No. I take pictures of people I met here.
Have you met anyone here before?
Yes, but it's rare, because the forest is very large.
I have taken photos of lost souls that I have met.
This is my inheritance. This stupid film is my suicide note,
full of sad faces.
Why do you want to kill yourself?
Because I did everything wrong.
My priorities are all wrong, my whole life.
I failed my family.
- I'm more useful... leave. - So you are selfish?
Thank you for your kindness.
You messed up your family then you killed yourself?
How about you? Why did you kill yourself?
What will happen to your parents when did they find their daughter suicide?
- Damn you. - Will they not miss you
and find you here? - Not.
I told them that I would go to the Summer Festival.
I went to see Arcade Fire yesterday. I just came here this morning.
You don't like other bands So you decided to kill yourself?
How cute! Unlike you, I'm sure that's what I want.
I have an alibi for the next two days.
I can doubt as long as I want, and no one will come looking for me.
Your friends will not pay attention to you go?
My friends with yesterday thought I was with a new person today.
- Perfect plan. - Almost.
I'm afraid people will wonder why I haven't updated my Facebook any time soon.
But internet coverage is very unpredictable in those places.
This is a tragedy.
What are you looking for, "father"?
Lake. I know there is one here, somewhere,
I know where that is. Why didn't you ask before?
Why? I did not take you as a guide from "The Forest of Lost Souls".
You always underestimate me.
Do you know it's the only glacier lake peninsula?
It's been here since the Big Thaw.
It doesn't come from the river. It came from nowhere.
It's only ice that melts from the Ice Age.
It's always here, freezes in time.
But anyway...
... why do you want to kill yourself?
I feel certain that I will be angry again.
I feel I can't get past it one more of those terrible times.
And I won't recover this time.
More bullshit.
That's because I have an annoying father, just like your daughter.
Wait.
You know...
I think I'm ready.
But you have to promise me You will wait another year.
Give your poor dad one more year,
give an opportunity to the thing we call life. Sometimes things get better.
Damn you! You cannot tell me what to do.
I want to ask another question.
Besides not suicide? I don't want it anymore.
You have made me lose my desire. I will see The Strokes.
You are boring.
The people who committed suicide here are very boring.
You are not Elliott Smith.
Can you lend me poison?
The whole knife is ridiculous, and it scares me.
I said that. Sure, I will lend you a few.
Will you stay with me?
- Are you sure about this? - Yes.
I have a daughter...
He died on this lake.
You remind me of him.
Who? Irene?
He is a stupid little whore.
This is your "left-hand".
Father: "Filipa, go home. Sadness cannot last forever."
- Yes? - Hello dear.
- Hi, ma'am - Did he call you?
No, he just sent me a stupid message.
He sent it to me too.
I'm heading home. How about you?
- I will remain temporary. - Well.
Filipa, calm down your father. He is having a hard time.
- I have to go. - Well.
- Kisses, baby. - Goodbye.
This view is embarrassing, right?
I imagine what this place looks like when the bridge was built.
Q Do you know that time destroys everything?
Hi. How are you?
Everything's fine, Tiago. How about you?
Can I take you home?
In silence?
Goodbye, Tiago.
Daddy?
Mother I'm home, but she's not here.
I will leave soon. Just wait. Please don't work.
Mother, calm down. I just vent.
- OK. See you again. - See you again.
Hello dear. Is he back?
Jesus, mother. No, he still hasn't appeared.
She's getting crazy every day.
Your father has many thoughts. Don't mind him.
- He left at 6 in the morning, without words. - Let him.
And the car is parked outside. Don't you see it?
What? I do not see it. Where is it?
On the road.
It's hard to understand what happened to his head.
We've all passed it.
Even you, that much because you don't admit it.
Don't be rude!
Daddy: "Can you park the car inside? The key is at the door."
Mom, I will park the car. Daddy asked me.
Via text. A sensitive man.
- I'll see you for a while. - See you later.
Tiago: "I'm worried about you. Can I stop by today?"
Filipa: "Later... after he passed out drunk."
Did your father text again?
No. Typical.
Don't be like that
If I'm like you, where will we be?
We will be the same.
Or I will be less angry,
because I will have someone to complain about my father.
Seeing. We all grieve in our own way.
Your father handles things by touching the raw nerve.
- What he did was not his fault. - No more, please.
- Please stop it. - You're both ridiculous.
How about me? Where do I stand?
Daddy: "Everything will be fine. I love you both."
What's the message? Did your father send it?
Yes.
More bullshit. I already have it. I will go to my room.
Filipa: "I am cruel to my mother. I need you here."
Daddy: "I'm home. Down."
"Dear Filipa, I asked you for the last time that you forgive me.
" For what I did and what I will do.
"And because you failed when your sister is still alive and afterwards.
Because it is not the father you need in a dark and sad time."
Blah blah blah...
Tiago: "I'm on your door."
Who are you and what do you want?
I'm a friend of Philippa. He is waiting for me.
No. He goes to sleep.
- And you...? - I am Irene, her sister.
- No, not you. - Right.
Can you get Filipa, please?
Do you want to enter and catch him?
No.
- Forget it. I'll call him. - Well.
Hi daddy. How are you?
Sorry I didn't call yesterday.
You know cellphones never work in these places.
What do you see? Jesus, father.
Yes, I can post photos on Facebook.
I can't call you. Different networks.
Yes. WI-FI, father.
How about mom? Is he okay?
Alright alright. Kissing. Bye
Ricardo Alves, husband and father from two victims and missing for three weeks found dead,
and alleged to be the author of the two murders.
He is also believed to have been fatal run over Tiago Roxo,
Philippine girlfriend, in a sacred place from the residence of Alves. Body...
Sadness will last forever.
The more we analyze funny stories, the more sad it will be.
Time destroys everything.
If the idea of suicide is extraordinary comfort,
a way to have a good good night, far from everything and everyone,
I will be here to end your sadness.
Welcome to "The Forest of Lost Souls".
