CGiii Comment
"Berlin. Two strangers. One Doll."
A near-silent, dreamlike tale inspired by the silent film era and the darker writings of Edgar Allan Poe and E.T.A Hoffmann. Two oddball Berliners discover individually the abandoned appendages of a department store mannequin. Separately, and with grotesque consequence, the men come to terms with their disjointed mate. A cautionary tale of unrequited sexuality and blurring gender identity. A surreal vision of sexual evolution and misguided passion.
