Synopsis

Eric can’t speak of the things that have happened to him. A mute, gay animator, he quite literally has no mouth. But the strange goings-on — space aliens, missing eyeballs, and otherworldly entities — soon force him to confront the silence. Recalling the work of Gregg Araki, Carl Joseph Papa has utilized a startling mix of rotoscoped and hand-drawn animation to craft a captivating exploration of trauma and the secrets we keep.
