Effigy

Directed by John Cairns

With Camilla Ståhl, Shinsuke Kato, Sergey Kuvaev and Mihoko Watanabe

Isolated on the fringes of a soulless metropolis, Catherine survives on scraps of translation work. But a mysterious client offers a lucrative job, and an opportunity for Catherine to indulge in her malformed and incompatible desires. As the film unravels, the lines between reality and delusion blur, seamlessly mirroring Catherine's struggle to make sense of the tainted fragments of her client's mysterious scroll.
