In a world where oil is nearly as valuable as gold, it is not unheard of for powerful governments to take greed to flight and attempt control. Such was the case in Equatorial Guinea, a small country in Africa whose rich oil fields proved too tempting for the British neocolonialist establishment to resist.

Walled off from the rest of the world, Paris has been expanded in every direction—up, down, and inward—but out, resulting in a futuristic maze-like metropolis superimposed over the classical architecture for which the city is world famous.

Images on billboards move and speak, advertising the sale of eternal youth and beauty. Among these streets a woman in her early twenties is kidnapped outside a dance club in an intense, stylish, and bizarre sequence that projects through the windows of your mind like a scene from a David Lynch remake of Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train animated by Frank Miller.
