Pile-up of toilet paper reserves to the freshness of Extra Gum. Oh yeah! What a good time. What the location manager says: "Although the fi lm takes place in a hyperbolized world, it was important that the locations felt identifi able and global. Any interior scenes had to look authentic, apartments or houses inhabited, people accumulating things. While the exteriors, invaded by nature and animals, had to receive after a long time, the stampede of happy people going out again.
