A playful romantic comedy-drama about deception and reinvention that uses a fake death premise to explore how we construct identity and fall in love.

After false reports of his demise put him and his work on the map, an artist decides to continue the charade by posing as his own brother. Soon, a reporter enters his life and has a profound effect on him.
