Endless “forges a new, radical cinematic language”* rooted in New Wave’s storytelling, dark irony and labyrinthine mystery, bursting with queer and transfeminist diaristic echoes.

When lonely, searching for their identity, nonbinary/trans X start a new, complicated affair with transgender Frank, they are drawn into an uncanny game of feelings, which puts their emotions to the test. Relationship with the mysterious M, a collector of beauty and youth, seems like a salvation and the possibility of new beginnings. However opening to a new life imitating art has its price. Is a transition to the other side worth it?

The film builds a visual and conceptual bridge between classic movie narration and uncanny poetic strategies adapted from different visual art forms and mediums: performance, installation, VR/XR and AI engines. In that sense “Endless” dares to reach beyond the known horizons, offering the viewer to look through the eyes of a main charachter trapped in the monumental intrigue of their own desires, longings and irresolutions. “Endless” redefines the spectator’s role of a passive “content consumer” and introduces the possibility to engage audience’s senses through the mystery of becoming “the other”: made of the shattered and forgotten mirror splinters.
