ALOYS

A “mystery film” exploring the uncanny that exists beside or inside us throughout our existence. Aloys, a middle aged private detective is about to see his life change drastically. He experiences life from a safe distance, through a video camera he leaves on, 24 hours a day, and the massive collection of surveillance tapes he organizes and obsessively watches at home. After a night of heavy drinking, following the death of his father, he wakes up on a bus to find that his tapes have been stolen. Soon after, a mysterious woman calls and offers to return the tapes if he will try an obscure Japanese invention called “telephone walking.” As he is drawn in deeper and deeper, falling in love with the voice on the other end of the phone, the woman opens up a new universe.
