International premiere.International competition.

In a futuristic London, Slater and Nadia undergo the assault of a police intervention group. Nadia gets kidnapped and Slater remains alone with the corpse of one of his attackers, but who once uncovered appears to be an identical version of his lover.

After ten or so short-films and two documentaries (Shock Head Soul and the multi-awarded Bodysong) British filmmaker Simon Pummell signs a first feature sci-fi movie both sophisticated and unusual. A Kafkaesque schizophrenic thriller, in which Lachlan Nieboer (Downton Abbey), obsessed by his lost love shows the extent of his talent alongside with Nora-Jane Noone (The Descent, Doomsday). Paprika revisited by Philip K. Dick.
