Haunted by the present, she looks to the past

Synopsis

Telling the story of a girl, through the eyes of her older, wiser self. Shown in a daze of colour, she falls into a nightmarish state of mind. And through an audio-visual platform the narrative blurs and distorts into a new reality - revealing a burning new picture of truth.
