Reflection
A man wakes in a wasteland with bloodied knuckles and not a single memory. All he has is a yellow envelope containing money, a set of keys, and an address. What he finds by following those clues leads him towards a truth he may have preferred never to discover.
Story of an affair
Doña Ana moves to her daughter’s estate in the Colombian mountains. What seems like a peaceful retreat becomes a labyrinth of marital secrets, vanishing employees, and a nocturnal presence no one can explain. A tale where infidelity carries consequences that transcend the earthly.

An old tailor from Banff receives a mysterious letter from a stranger. Upon arriving at a decaying Victorian mansion, he encounters an eccentric magician and a series of absurd situations leading to a twist he never saw coming. A tale where the ordinary bends into the extraordinary.
