Mine, Me, You and I

Synopsis:
An actor dying from a stroke, experiences his last hours within the realms of his cacophonic and chaotic imagination. When in good health, he was just another actor in existential crisis, who sought therapy, but found no relief from the absurdity of his existence. Now dying, his imagination laments and lambasts his actions and desires. A dark acerbic comedy exploring the absurdity of living, dying and the pointless pursuit of fictional aspirations
