_____________________________________
Within an isolated four walls a family wrestles with their paralyzed existence. Surrounded by the coma of loneliness and the atrophy of hope, a microscopic discovery reveals jagged internal cracks.
Chekhov's brutal exploration of the gasps of missed connections and the massacre of dreams amongst the oblivious and the tortured.
Both picture frame of raw human desire and ghost story of what haunts.
A prescient, absurdist folk song to a changing world and
the melodies of melancholy.
