A surreal science musical documentary. An energetic, amusing and thought-provoking report on the condition of man from the other side of zero. 


NOMANSLAND: "When you get down to nothing, you're only half-way there". An allegorical journey from the city's outskirts to its heart of darkness.

ARROW OF TIME: Alternative history. The story of a government experiment in time plunging out of control.


TIME MACHINE GUN: "It shoots in all directions, everywhere, all at once".   Archival film and music loops. An impressionistic exploration of time and mortality.
