Synopsis
Whose Toes is a portrait of character that collapses the inner and outer mysteries of personality with an unrecorded interpretation of history. Showcasing the late Princess Diana and JFK as its main characters, we are invited to return to past events that have caused discomfort, and to re-imagine a misstep in time.
Real world political events are both evoked and eschewed, gathering together in a localized inner tragedy: the of makeup of personality.
To sidestep the fateful inheritance of the world. Not alternate, but to make different. A new time branch that connects the personal experience to the rest of the world postulated in a para-time universe. A distorted delusion smearing personal and collective failures. Tragedy is in the realization that there are bad things in the world and there is nothing you can do to stop it. The clockwork of human interaction, a historical soft spot and an ethical blind spot.
