Full credits

A has-been Hollywood director is forced to confront his own fears in a Dostoevskian moral fable.

synopsis

A washed up Hollywood director is trapped in a remote castle by his own fears until the arrival of a mysterious woman offers him possible salvation. Inspired by Dostoevsky's 'Notes from the Underground', Johnny Walker attempts to answer the burning question: Is living a long life vulgar, immoral or just plain bad manners?
Een uitgebluste Hollywood regisseur zit gevangen door zijn eigen angsten in een afgelegen kasteel, tot de komst van een mysterieuze vrouw hem mogelijke verlossing biedt. Geïnspireerd door Dostojevski's 'Aantekening van het ondergrondse' probeert Johnny Walker een antwoord te geven op de vraag of lang leven vulgair, immoreel of een kwestie is van slechte manieren.
