A visual and psychological adventure into the mind frame of a functioning alcoholic, told through the different perspectives of both Bruce and the filmmaker. The lineage of the film does not follow any particular motive, but instead transitions between different streams of consciousness. Visually the film is abstract and tampered, seemingly intoxicating, and acts as more of a frame of reference; while the audio reveals Bruce's paradigm, and how ultimately, his dependency controls and is destroying his life. Meanwhile the viewer is forced to transition into the mind of the filmmaker and live within her struggle to understand and capture the truth of his disease. The competing perspectives offer a rounded while contorted visaed of the effects of addiction.
