Dark Comedy | 110 minutes | English | CANADA
A once-famous painter rediscovers inspiration when he befriends a sleepwalking cannibal.
Matthew Kotash, once a young celebrity in the art world is slipping away fast into the land of has-beens. His long-time art dealer, Ronny, is now an ungracefully aging hipster who desperately wants his meal ticket back. But Matthew refuses to paint. His creativity comes at too high a cost - his inspiration is carnage - blood, guts and limbs. Not surprisingly, this lead to a dreadful breakdown in the past. Nevertheless, an eager Ronny arranges a teaching job for Matthew at an art school in Koda Lake, a small town in the middle of nowhere. It’s a “therapeutic” measure for Matthew - a means to conquer his need to paint in the “safety” of a country retreat… That is, until Eddie comes into his life.
