Burning Man

Don't go so far out that you can't find your way back.

A fragmented, grief-stricken portrait of a man unraveling after terminal loss, told through nonlinear memory and hallucination as the women around him attempt rescue.

Tom is a British chef in a Bondi restaurant who seems to have decided there are no longer any rules he needs to obey. Whatever Tom is up to, his actions seem to be tolerated by those around him. As Tom descends into darkness, fragments of a different story begin to emerge. All the women in his world are trying in their own, very different ways to help put him back together.
