Resurrection (2025)
What is it that, once lost, you can never get back?
In a future where humanity has surrendered its ability to dream in exchange for immortality, an outcast finds illusion, nightmarish visions, and beauty in an intoxicating world of his own making.
In Resurrection, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “dream-cinema”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing dream, memory, longevity, mortality, art.
