Project Detail

Limescale

Synopsis

Matthew Carlson believes himself to be insane. Whenever threatened with the remote possibility of being exposed to humiliation, stress mounts and he fantasises an act of extreme maladjusted behaviour to distract himself and so relieves himself from the burden of his worried mind. He began dealing with social situations in this way from age eleven, and so over the years has become convinced, and quite comfortable with, the notion that he is indeed a psychopath. At age ten, Matthew was sexually abused by his father. Shortly afterwards, his mother killed herself. Matthew has spent his life obsessing about being insane to distract himself from this past, and buries it away deep within himself so that he can function better in his adult life, and with his friends and at work. As Matthew's past begins to uncontrollably force its way back into his conscious mind, he looks for something further to drive it back into the dark depths of his psyche. This is a story of what someone actually thinks as opposed to what they say and do. This is a man who fears Limescale might be accumulating inside of him. This is the story of Matthew Carlson.
