Intent on delving deep into the abysmal realm of self-mutilation, Daniel locks himself in the bathroom and begins an esoteric conversation of blood and suffering with the goddess, Ishtar. Will his sacrifice open the path to enlightenment?

Haunted by the death of his father and other psychological traumas, Daniel (Roberto Scorza) returns to the home where he was raised. Faced with intense emotional scars, as well as physical -- which are realized by the years of self-harm depicted by the cuttings adorning his body -- he enters the bathroom to begin a journey of self-exploration, self-mutilation and quite possibly, self-enlightenment. Prepared only with three white candles and some crude instruments, Daniel attempts to beckon the embrace of the Goddess Ishtar (Flora Giannattasio) to assist him on his self-illumination.—Chris Mayo

Burdened with the scars of an ignoble past and the insufferable weight of depression, Daniel returns to his vacant old house, intent on delving deep into the abysmal realm of pain and self-mutilation. With his bag crammed with the crude instruments of self-exploration, troubled Daniel confines himself in the small bathroom, and begins an esoteric conversation with the powerful Mesopotamian goddess, Ishtar. Through a series of increasingly excruciating torments, the determined man hopes to unlock the magnificent planes of higher consciousness; however, the inaccessible deity still demands more. Will Daniel's sacrifice open the difficult path to enlightenment?—Nick Riganas
