Plot

A famous jazz saxophonist's life is forever changed after he is accidentally shot. After discovering a mysterious package, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful aspiring actress, but their happiness is cut short by a series of strange, dreamlike events.

Sinekatalog’s take

A musician's life changes after a freak shooting, and a mysterious package pulls him into a dreamlike romance. The writer-director's literary fingerprints are everywhere, for better and worse. It is an odd, atmospheric fable best suited to viewers who enjoy enigmas more than clear answers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
