What happens to the people we can’t let go of?

In Lionfish, Ida exists as the lingering memory of a past relationship — trapped within the surreal subconscious of Alexander as he struggles to move on.

As dreams and reality blur together, both are forced to confront the emotional truth hiding beneath memory, longing, and loss.

An experimental fantasy romance about heartbreak, memory, and the subconscious worlds we create for the people we miss.

Directed by Marco Moro
Starring Lee Lawson and Robert Bazzocchi
