A man wanders the streets of a desolate Venice, looking for solace, finding old masks, dead books and a ghost. This visually stunning, multi-layered piece combines Super8 footage, 3D-animation and live action. McKean produced, wrote, shot, edited the larger part of the video film and was largely responsible for the soundtrack. Famous musician/composer John Cale provided the impressive narration.
