Here I am. A mind backed up by delusion of previous condition. Free or humiliated? Who is ashamed? Me or you? It is so hard to share one's secret.

Eleven young film-makers got together to collaborate in this atypical project. Atypical not only because of its technical specs, but because of its narrative structure. There are several scenes with only the city in common, and more as a conceptual presence at that than as a precise geography.

When churlish mobster Albert Spica acquires an upscale French restaurant in London, he dines there nightly, effectively scaring off the clientele with his bad manners. His wife, Georgina, is especially disgusted by him, and soon begins an affair with regular guest Michael. Despite their best efforts to keep it secret, Spica learns about their trysts, and he plots a terrible revenge.

In a world where everyone is expected to be on point 24/7, life isn’t lived anymore — it’s performed. Always grinding. Always proving. Always “doing fine”. But the mind keeps score. And when it can’t take it anymore… the body hits pause.
