In a dystopian future, a government agent visits the home of an aging artist to audit her dreams. He ends up exploring her subconscious, which has been stored in a vast library of VHS tapes, gradually becoming aware of the reality around him. Audley and Birney have created an engaging fable brimming with visual ideas, a fresh and inventive ode to analog culture, illustrating their concerns about surveillance algorithms and the invasions of our digital landscape. Find out what happens when they breach the last barrier around our most inmost selves, our dreams and our psyche.
