Ostomachion the battle of the bones

During a lovely outing in the forest, a young author receives a Mona Lisa puzzle from his partner as a present. As he endeavors to solve it in the following days, he becomes mesmerized by the androgynous depiction of Mona Lisa, while his girlfriend grows concerned. The movie is not only about the denial of truth but also about self-discovery. It explores what transpires between individuals when one refuses to acknowledge their true self.
