As others remarked, this is not really a movie, more like a long sketch. However there is a lot of humor in it and the people doing the film obviously had a lot of fun making it. It does look like and probably is a student film made for some art project or another, but I liked it.
The film, made by The Dead Gentlemen Production (there is a hint there, LOL), is about a fantasy role playing game. Five (and a bit) students are playing it based on a set of rules, each impersonating a character of their choice, the game progression being controlled by a game master. While they are playing, there are also scenes that enact their imagined journey. And there is a twist ending.
I can remember the days when I was like them, playing games that are inconceivably time wasting now to even comprehend, but that back then were my life! Could I believe back then that anyone would rather go out with a beautiful intelligent young woman than hang out with his best friends playing adventure games? No! So I was writing a review, right?
Bottom line: it needs a certain audience, that is for sure, but a film made with so much gusto should be difficult to not enjoy, even if you don't completely understand the characters. I loved it!
