SYNOPSIS

​

A man investigates a strange room, unsure how he arrived there. As he explores, apparitions allude to the presence of a being whose impact drives a fractious and frenzied rebellion. As he confronts the being, a metamorphosis occurs where structures of identity fall away, revealing a monstrous reality. Wandering this horrifying underland, the man meets the Red Bird, who invites him into its extraordinary, essential, and exotic life.
