Synopses

What will Frank sacrifice in a world beyond yesterday's emulsion?

Characters burst through yesterday's emulsion to tell the conflicting story of Frank and Charlie who sacrifice their morals to find love as two worlds collide.

Former glories are ripped from archive footage and reassembled in a surreal city of last century's detritus to tell the story of Frank and Charlie. In love with each other? In love with themselves? They see only one way out. But what will they sacrifice in order to save what they love the most in a world of forgotten people and abandoned morality, as characters break through yesterday's emulsion, forcing the two worlds to collide.
