DramaFantasy

We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.

VIBE

A mesmerizing, shape-shifting odyssey through fragmented identities and staged realities. It feels like a waking dream, both profoundly melancholic and strangely exhilarating, prompting introspection on existence and the masks we wear. A visually rich, enigmatic experience.
