A Pin for the Butterfly

A series of performances exploring the infinite possibilities of the imagination through the craft of acting.

Malaysia's first digital film is an urban comedy set during one day in Kuala Lumpur. It features four entwined stories about desire, where people's paths cross in unexpected ways. A suicidal young man mourns the death of his step-mother, who had come into fatal contact with an apple. A bubbly DJ on the eve of her wedding catches her fiance in an unexpected sexual encounter. A dapper restaurant owner falls for his double. And a bookshop clerk resorts to black magic to get the attention of a girl with a fetish for cook-books.

This is an unusual love story between Mario, a young man from the city who believes he has already failed in life, and a country-woman from a small village in the provinces who is disenchanted with life. To start fresh, Mario flees to the countryside and ends up on a mountain farm that belongs to Ms. Gusenleitner and her father, who gives him work as a farmhand for bed and board. For the first time in his life, Mario experiences love and sexuality without hate and dependency. However, he fears that his idyllic life will be halted when his past catches up with him.

Adalbert's Dream mines the Romanian communist past for a dryly funny tale of ordinary people just getting on with their lives.

A young father sets off on an obsessive hunt for his long-lost hard drive of 7,800 Bitcoin he mined in the early days of its existence. The journey consumes him, as blind obsession of what could be grows larger than his reality of what is.

A famous rock star dies in Toronto under suspicious circumstances. As his body is transported through the netherworld of the death industries, the deceased's questioning spirit speculates about the meaning of his life and the cause of his death. On his journey, he encounters the people who make their living where life ends-the person who delivers the body, the chief pathologist who performs this autopsy, the embalmer, and the hairstylist: and finally the creamatorium operator. His odyssey reveals a society that demands to be shielded from the reality of death. And the death industry workers who comply. Part documentary, part fiction, TIME IS ON MY SIDE contrasts the hard realities of death with the metaphysical questions that surround it.
