Ashes to Ashes — Submarine Channel

Ashes to Ashes is a surreal tragicomedy in virtual reality. At first sight, the film seems to be about a dysfunctional family burdened with the bizarre dying wish of their recently deceased grandfather. Seen from the perspective the urn containing the ashes, we encounter the colorful family members, who each seem to live in a reality of their own creation.

Ashes to Ashes is an experience designed to challenge the viewer to distinguish what is real from what is not. Ultimately the film questions if there is, in fact, a clear dividing line between reality and fiction. Aren’t we all living in our own world?
