Plot
The old man (Jack Taylor) and his lolita (Narges Rashidi) are lovers. They have decided to end it all by a dramatic "shoot-out" finale with, of the two guns, only one is loaded. As they know one of them will definitely die before the day is over, they decide to have a wild ride through the last day of their lives. They rob banks, fight the Nazis, do drugs, laugh and dance, kiss, feed the poor, and finally have sex for the last time before starting up the ritual to shoot each other to death. They hold the revolvers against the other with neither one knowing which of the guns is loaded. They fire on each other.
