A surreal chamber piece blending classical Italian cinema with gothic flair. Inspired by Balkan folktales of hidden doors, the film weaves stream-of-consciousness dialogue with symbolist imagery. Costumes, handmade by the artist and stitched with her oil paintings, wrap layered identities like Matryoshka dolls in a dreamlike theatre of the self.

This psychedelic tour of life after death is seen entirely from the point of view of Oscar, a young American drug dealer and addict living in Tokyo with his prostitute sister, Linda. When Oscar is killed by police during a bust gone bad, his spirit journeys from the past -- where he sees his parents before their deaths -- to the present -- where he witnesses his own autopsy -- and then to the future, where he looks out for his sister from beyond the grave.
