(ANSA) - London, March 26 - The plot of Argentina's entry
for best foreign language film at this year's Academy Awards -
Damian Szifron's Wild Tales, produced by Pedro Almodovar -
appears to have similarities with the Germanwings plane crash in
the French Alps which killed 150 people on Tuesday.
In one of the movie's six tales, called Pasternak, a plane
pilot decides to take his life by crashing an aircraft carrying
all the people he believes did him wrong in his life, including
his ex.
Pasternak does so by locking himself inside the cabin and
downing the plane, ignoring repeated calls from his
psychologist, one of the passengers, who implores him to change
his mind.
He ends up crashing the plane in the care home where his
parents live.
A French prosecutor investigating Tuesday's accident told a
news conference on Thursday that the co-pilot of the doomed
Germanwings flight had the "deliberate intention" to crash the
plane.
Andreas Lubitz, 28, reportedly locked the pilot out of the
flight cabin before activating controls to put the plane into a
dive.
