Synopsis

Animation and live action are combined along with Persona-esque inserts to create a surreal world all its own. The main character, Simon, exists as a deer in headlights, frozen by life's questions that he can't seem to answer. His wife, Susan, exists as if the tangible world is all that matters. When Susan asks for a divorce over breakfast, Simon is forced to relive his failed relationship in purgatory.
