This gripping collection of narrative short films molds familiar themes of kinship, love ties, and identity into dark and unexpected forms. Crafted by Louisiana filmmakers, these harrowing and unforgettable stories confront the monstrous and urge us to look deeper at the illusions we keep hidden in shadow.

As a new day begins, Aurelio faces the aftermath of a fleeting yet intense encounter, challenging him to confront his deepest desires, hidden wounds, and the thin line between reality and illusion.
