A healthy young innocent couple (Zoe Daelman Chlanda, Robb Leigh
Davis)decide to try out some new drug - and when their dealer tells them
to only try it together, that almost sounds romantic ... but it turns out
to be anything but, because while the guy falls into drug-induced
euphoria, his girlfriend takes a trip to hell that culminates in her
fantasizing kissing him and involuntarily tearing off half his face in the
process ... Later: The girl visits her parents for a family dinner, the
epitomy of normalcy ... but even there she can't escape the aftereffects
of the drug ... A very disturbing short about drug consumption
gone wrong, this is nevertheless not a "Say no to
drugs"-commercial or in fact any kind of message film and more of a
mood-piece, a self sufficient (though not gratuitous) trip to the dark
side - and a quite impressive one, actually.
