WATCH THE TRAILER BELOW
Artist Oliver Black (Xander Berkeley) wakes up to find his wife Evelyn (Sarah Clarke) dead overnight in their bed. Full of magical realism, we enter a world in which the fallacies of our belief in solid reality are revealed. Space and time are bent in ways that challenge the audience as to what is reality, what is illusion, and what is beyond…
This peaceful and hypnotic silence is interrupted by the threat of the outside world and everyday reality, thanks to Oliver’s art dealer (Mink Stole).
