Synopsis

In Bas’s world, the voices desperately trying to contact him amount to little more than background noise. Sometimes they breach the decaying rooms he inhabits, but they fail to break down the walls surrounding him. That leaves Bas adrift in a twilight zone between delusion and reality, between response and isolation.
