The boy, Julian, becomes immersed in a videogame called The Bardo, a bridge between worlds, somehow connecting different realities within the film, including death itself.

Objectives to be achieved
Present “Celestial Twins” within the European market to establish alliances with possible co-producing partners and sales agents.
Co-production´s interesting countries
In the first instance we seek to co-produce with European countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium and France to have the possibility of working with foreign crew and financing the special effects necessary for the film through their subsidies, specifically, through funds specifically destined to special effects and post-production. Later we are interested in exploring private financing possibilities in the United States and in the Asian region.
