Meticulously crafted, paper cut-outs of coffins, headstones, eyes, candles, crosses, and psychedelic backgrounds dance across the screen. Sensory functions are gradually removed – an ear is broken by a hammer, a mouth is locked in a cage, a nose is put in a coffin, hands are pricked by a thorn, a heart is trapped inside a coffin – in an exploration of afterlife.
