    • Synopsis
    • Three stories. Three levels of reality.
      Réalité, an eight year old girl, finds a mysterious VHS. Her desire of watching it turns into an obsession.
      Jason, a failed filmmaker, suceeds to convince Bob, a shady producer, to finance his first horror movie. Bob accepts to do so on one condition: Jason has 48 hours to find the perfect scream.
      Despite his wife’s advice, a psychiatrist named Alice, Jason progressively gets all mixed up and confuses his dreams with reality.
      Denis, a culinary TV host dressed-up in a rat costume, suddenly loses his self-confidence because of an imaginary skin disease. He starts feeling persecuted and quickly loses his mind.
      The stories and the characters progressively intertwine... What if Reality was just a result of these different layers of fiction overlapping?
