Institute History
Description
The moment after Zia slits his wrists, he enters a bizarre afterlife reserved for suicides. This a world where everyone still bears the scars earned from the manner in which they offed themselves, while the everyday reality is a twisted mirror image of our own mortal world.
Zia encounters a variety of memorable characters in this dark mirror of real life, from a disillusioned suicide bomber to an angel in disguise. But it is in Eugene, a crafty Ukrainian musician, and Mikal, an accidental tourist, that he finds his closest friends. This trio of souls forms an uncommon bond as they set out on a journey across the afterlife in search of what they could not find in their previous lives.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
