It\'s a story about a couple of youngsters trying to make a load of money to fulfil a dream of theirs (have forgotten what it was) by selling drugs, but forget the golden rule - \"don\'t get high on your own supply\". In addition to that there\'s a parallel story about the mother of one of the youngsters who is a television addict and dream about being invited to take part in a game show. To prepare herself for the day, she wants to lose weight to get into a dress she used to wear when she was younger. Without going into details, both of these stories rapidly turn worse and worse.

yup, requiem is a great film. i remember the first time we watched it........ when it finished we just sat there for about ten minutes in silence piecing it together and getting over the shock of it all. would definatley recommend it, just watch it with an open mind..........and the lights off

Its to support the Girlfriends buisness as a fashion designer. I also saw it as a metaphor for The American Dream.
