Synopsis: A man looks back on his younger years and relives some of the moments that led him into his troubles with addiction in later life,  he looks backwards with a mature wisdom that flows as poetry, an old head looking through young eyes, or a young mind looking forward to a rocky future, drug abuse and alcohol, spiralling behaviour and a loss of control. A true story featuring people with lived experience of addiction, toxic masculinity and false idols. A punk film with an authentic poetry that runs as an autobiographical stream of consciousness.  Young and older Sam (played by himself) battle to control the narrative over their past and their future, can we change our fate if we become aware of it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis: This music video is about psychoanalytic support which is shown through the images of children and adults. In childhood the main character lost her mother who was the closest person for her. And then she has spent her entire life trying to overcome the consequences of this loss. Her world changed dramatically due to the tragedy. Now she is an actress who has panic attacks before going on stage and everything around her turns into fear images that attack her and bring her to exhaustion. But suddenly a little girl appears supporting and taking her care. The members of the group act as friends forming a sort of brotherhood where one helps the other. With them she understands that she is not alone. There is no more fear and the play begins. The childish self ceases to dominate the adult. The little girl sees that everything is fine with the main character and gradually removes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
