Dark Comedy | 100 minutes | English | CANADA
A once-famous painter rediscovers inspiration when he befriends a sleepwalking cannibal.
Matthew Kotash, once a young celebrity in the art world is slipping away fast into the land of has-beens. Ronny, his long-time art dealer wants his meal ticket back but Matthew refuses to paint. His creativity comes at too high a cost. His inspiration is carnage - blood, guts and limbs - and he’s vowed to never go down that dark road again. An overly eager Ronny arranges a job for Matthew teaching art in a small town. It’s a “therapeutic measure” – a means to conquer his need to paint while in the “safety” of a country retreat…
Despite the odd assortment of local eccentrics (and a couple of hostile teachers) things look promising overall for Matthew at his new job. That is, until he meets 30-year-old Eddie, a brawny mute who attends the school and harbours a dark and sordid secret of his own...
