Editors, publishers, and photographers participate in a cycle of exposure and manipulation that blurs the line between art and sensationalism. The film questions whether truth can survive under relentless scrutiny and commercial pressure.

💘 Desire

👻 Memory

The past continually resurfaces as memory and guilt, haunting decisions and haunting characters. The mother’s history with MacRoi and the ghostly imagery at key moments underline the inescapability of previous actions. The ending frames memory as both a burden and a potentially redemptive force.
