Who the intended target audience for this unusual cinematic experience might be remains an uncertainty.
Somewhat overstated story-wise but with a climax well worth waiting for.
All in all, a curious adventure film greatly enhanced by its mysterious atmosphere, two impressive leads and a sensitive musical score.
The story follows art student Mya (played by Nathalie Merchant, star of "Calypso") who loses all faith in her own work following a ruthless take down by the curator of coveted gallery Factory 5.
However, just as she is about to give up, Mya's creative enthusiasm is rekindled by Thomas Arkwright, an unconventional lecturer at the Art School (played by Alan Adler). Arkwright becomes Mya's mentor and the sensitively portrayed relationship between the two of them forms the basis for Mya's subsequent voyage of discovery. 8/10.
