He is hurled into a life that literally is not his own; a surreal world littered with trapdoors, doppelgängers and wormholes.

Viewing Notes
Experimental in the sense that the story is not a straightforward narrative affair, though it does cloak itself in the mechanics of a narrative before folding back in on itself. Haunting and depressing.
