Program Note
Like any other couple, two lovers are having a romantic candlelit dinner. When the woman touches what appears to be a blemish on the man's face, his skin starts to crumble. Flesh, blood, and even his eyes fall away, leaving only a skeleton. This short film, which bluntly reveals the couple after their outward appearances have been stripped away, paradoxically suggests that we all might be living behind some kind of mask. (Kristin JI)
