Fishing for Mermaids

The morning after his show, musician 'T' receives voice messages from his Agent. He learns that his friend Ralph, once again, has failed to promote his show on social media and he finds himself in a state of creative and existential paralysis.

Set against the backdrop of trendy Trastevere, Rome, we follow T, whose inner turmoil leads to some surreal encounters with his subconscious that enlighten him on the merits of developing an alias.
