shatter
A claustrophobic psychological thriller that visualizes the terrifying reality of Alzheimer’s disease. A man stands before a grimy bathroom mirror, only to watch his reflection break synchronization and confront him. Taunted by a cold, villainous version of himself that holds his fading memories, he fights a desperate, losing battle against the cessation of his own existence. As his mind shatters and the disease takes over, his physical body is left behind as nothing more than an empty vessel. A visceral exploration of dementia, the horror of identity loss, and the fractured self.
