Michael Gottli

Mike is released from a mental institution and finds himself in a filthy room and board where dreams and reality are one. A moving depiction of mental illness and a scathing indictment of the impersonal health care system.

A la fin du siècle dernier une épidémie de peste bubonique s'abat à Gimli, une colonie islandaise. A l'hôpital, Einar, pêcheur solitaire, rencontre Gunnar, gentilhomme sympathique et grassouillet. Les deux hommes deviennent amis. Ils se racontent des histoires toujours plus enfiévrées et deviennent ennemis quand ces histoires vont trop loin, se faisaint mutuellement subir toute sorte de tourments.

A reclusive seeker-of-immortality scientifically keeps his body youthful, but is not able to control the devastating effects of aging on his mind. He wanders about his creaky estate; quoting scripture, taking mind-altering drugs, engaging in bizarre rituals and vaguely interacting with his dysfunctional family...until, of course, the inevitable blood-soaked climax.

At the height of the October Revolution during the 1919 allied intervention in Arkhangelsk, the exploits of one-legged Canadian soldier Lt. John Boles are told, after he is taken in from the cold by a dysfunctional Russian family and mistakes a local woman for his presumed dead lover.

An impressionistic series of images inspired by "Tales From the Gimli Hospital".
