A film inspired by the French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard and his book Simulacra & Simulation. A man tries to escape his ordinary monotonous life. In a world of conformity, originality is always at risk of being copied.
(I found this movie collecting dust from my film school days. This film was wrote, shot, and edited in two weeks in Fall 2003)
