And The Heart of Her Son

A century ago, a loving son asked for his heart to be cut from his chest after his death and buried beside his mother. Today, when his mother collapses in front of him, another son wishes her dead so that he can return to his video games. The boy runs into the game, into a corridor that leads back to the operating table: where his own heart is put on trial. Archive, staged reenactment and video-game animation become different ways of re-entering the same memory, each revealing something the others can't.
