Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Going through a bad patch in her already complicated life, lonely Reine struggles to get a solid grasp of the impenetrable chaos that surrounds her. Trapped in a dizzying kaleidoscope of vivid urban hallucinations, young Reine embarks on an emotional journey through the night, against the backdrop of total abandon, mystical transition, and existential change. Now, the faceless city's artificial lights are calling her home. But are there easy answers to the unending conundrum of self-discovery? Written by Nick Riganas |
