"You realize what you're watching isn't so much an artist inventing himself as inevitably discovering the true self within." -The New York Times
While rehearsing a theater piece based on the life of the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio, a stressed-out performer has a catastrophic trapeze accident. While stranded on a gurney in a hospital emergency room for 15 hours with a broken neck ('Alice in Wonderland' meets 'The Matrix'), he escapes and finds refuge in the images that flood his mind - the sinners and saints, the prostitutes and gods - that populate Caravaggio's paintings.
