Synopsis:

In the abandoned mines of Sardinia we discover Freak and Jajà, a quixotic pair who inhabit a no-man's-land outside of time, when mankind no longer inhabits the planet. When the two arrive at a bus stop for a bus that never stops, they start on a journey where they meet a host of bizarre characters, including a mariachi storyteller, two actors reciting the story of Adam and Eve in the middle of a salty lake, a child who appears to be the 'magic' voice of Godot, an oracle who lives on the extractor well of an abandoned mine, and finally a solitary girl who lives on a beach, who may or may not be the only person who can help the travelers find their destination. Shot in evocative black and white and loosely based on Samuel Beckett's masterpiece 'Waiting for Godot,' Beket is a surreal journey where apocalyptic images, absurd, repetitive dialogues, and techno beats narrate an unpredictably inventive story of the search for the meaning of existence.

Freak and Jajà are in a place with no date and time. A no man's world. The earth is no longer inhabited by man, but on rare occasions a strange survivor or two will appear. The two protagonists who have never met, meet at Bus stop in the middle of nowhere. The Bus arrives but doesn't stop, it was the Bus that was going to GODOT, the God which manifested itself through a musical sound on the other side of the mountain. So Freak and Jajà decide to look for him on foot, in this way embarking on a journey that will have them meet the bizzarre characters living on this land. Unfortunately Freak and Jaja at the end of their journey.. will meet up with death before reaching their God.
