Movie Story


Esser is a broken man, searching for his wayward son amongst the rough streets of London's homeless.

Milo is a heartbroken thirty-something desperately trying to find a way back to the purity of first love.

Emilia is a beautiful art student, her suicidal art projects becoming increasingly more complex and deadly.

Preest is a masked vigilante detective, searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City; a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervour.

Esser, Milo, Emilia, Preest - a group of people who couldn't be further apart. Their individual worlds are set for a cataclysmic collision.

In an explosive finale, the path of a single bullet will decide the fate of our four lost souls...

Fantastic cinematography, brilliant actors, however, the plot is a bit sketchy and the characters underdeveloped. The story feels blurry but then again so is the human mind. Blurry and confused at times.
