With stark simplicity,
this eerie fable draws us into the potent imagination of Miles as
he struggles to make sense of a wicked and arbitrary tragedy. Writer/director/editor
Fessenden (HABIT NO TELLING) crafts a kaleidoscope of sounds and
images, puppetry and cinema tricks to make a visceral analogue film-poem
about existential angst, the power of myth, the relativity of revenge,
and the perpetuation of aggression through time.
