The city is rotten, an overrun cesspool of corporate greed and human rights violations at the hands of those too rich and powerful to be stopped... but their corruption has spawn, the vile and throbbing embodied mass of karma, crawling voraciously like an abandoned freight train of "I don't know what." But really, it's a beautiful story about a desperate mother willing to do anything just to have a life with her son in a world that knows little of happy endings.
Shy artist Emma feels insecure and hides beneath layers of clothing. Her new art teacher, Ms. Amberley, infamous for a controversial exhibit, demands raw vulnerability. Emma is forced to agree to a humiliating performance: standing nude at a school exhibition for attendees to write on her body. Shockingly, the school and her parents escalate this into a year-long "living art" project, stripping her of all clothing and dignity. Trapped, Emma must find a way to reclaim control. / (Reviews)
