Outline
Suffering from a sudden amnesia, an ambitious young writer embarks on a journey to know the truth about his girlfriend’s disappearance. Whilst recalling past events he does not only come across a long forgotten relative, but furthermore starts to question his seemingly best friend’s intention. The writer can no longer believe his darling simply left. Will he take the final leap and uncover the truth?
Storytelling
An important role in terms of storytelling plays the fact that rather then watching our characters passing the maze from above, the audience will be forced to join their path right through high walls of deception and mistrust. The story unfolds in two simultaneously proceeding timelines matching up at the end of the movie.
