About
In 1959 Claire Bishop sits for a portrait, only to discover that what the artist has actually depicted is her suicide. Haunted by the painting, Claire starts to question whether it is a premonition. In 2004, a schizophrenic young man is obsessed with a painting he encounters in a gallery: a mysterious image of a woman's suicide. Convinced the painting is a message to him, he becomes submerged in an elaborate delusion. When the two characters finally meet in the present, the young man's delusion is shattered, only to be replaced by a reality even more strange.
