Quietus of Man

After the mysterious death of his wife, a man returns to confront the old, Japanese fortuneteller who predicted their deaths. He struggles to understand why he is still alive and what he must do to defy his fate.

QUIETUS OF MAN is a melancholic story of fate and fortuitousness, whether to accept or reject the cards life deals us, and what people are capable of when they do.
