Dichotomy

“Dichotomy” follows the story of two artists, and the character they create, while looking for things as different as they are similar – whether the search for a story or the search for “her”.
In this living room, where discussions and compromises bring to life the character's path through the forest to his final destination, the river Cocytus, where man will finally find the true meaning of his journey.
