Synopsis

A mysterious encounter between a woman and what appears to be an alien, reveals itself as a play, a prison our protagonists are doomed to live within forever.

Commentary

This one is confusing, and needs more than one watch to appreciate. It’s as if actors were hired to be in a scripted “reality” show, and then find out that the actors themselves are the reality show. Except this show is lethal and very real. It’s all very meta and it’s not completely clear why any of this is happening. Still, it looks really good and has very high production values, but if you want your stories explained, maybe this one isn’t going to be for you…
