To What Do We Owe This Pleasure?

Three stories interweave to explore the mysterious qualities of memory: a documentary retelling of a daunting urban legend by the once-children haunted by it; a hybrid meta-documentary noir, recreation of the true story of a man who joined a search party in search of himself, and the kaleidoscopic recollections and investigations of an Oneirologist, who experiences what he calls dreams of the future via the unconscious. The film intends to explore the mysterious qualities and slippery nature of memory, and what that means for the world of a generation who seeks to rediscover itself, in our contemporary world.
