Overview
"Through a multi-layered narrative structure, "Promnesia" is a short film that explores the concept of how to confront reality better. Anchored by the concept of parallel universes, the protagonist Michelle, a stage actress, undergoes multiple lifetimes embodying the character Mary. Things that happened in Mary's life resonate with various aspects of Michelle's real life. As a result, the boundaries between fiction and reality in her life become increasingly blurred. After she attains tremendous success through humiliating means, she ultimately becomes influenced by the character, mustering the courage to assert herself in her unequal intimate relationship." -- Abstract
