SYNOPSIS
STORY 1. BOGOTA - JASON AND SERAFINA
American writer Jason Hollister has withdrawn to the shadows of Bogotá, Colombia. When Jason rescues a teenage prostitute after a violent attack, a strange relationship blooms between them. The young girl, Serafina, ignites Jason’s all-but-extinct desire to write. In turn, Jason negotiates this peculiar ‘muse’ into his world… Hiring her to be his companion.
With her departure from the formidable slums, Serafina is seduced with a poisonous delusion: the opportunity of a different life. A deep yearning is unlocked as Jason inevitably comes to represent hope and change.
This initial harmony is short-lived however, as Jason catapults deeper into a creative cocoon. Employing every strategy of distraction to usurp his attention, Serafina is met only with defiance and anger.
The emotional landscape of this unusual friendship soars and plummets as they walk inexorably through their tangled fate.
HOLLYWOOD - MARILYN AND CHRIS
Marilyn is an enigmatic 28-year-old teacher at a Los Angeles day-care.
Her story begins when she accosts and then interrogates the white father (Chris) of an African-American boy (Julian) one day after school. Though the situation is swiftly resolved, it takes an unusual turn.
The following day, Chris invites Marilyn on a date. She accepts. As their relationship ensues Marilyn’s peculiar fascination with Julian is enough to disturb Chris.
Only towards the end of this tale do we begin to understand the intricacies of her preoccupation and the details of her savage fate.
