Bitter Cherry

In a desolate, surreal landscape, a tormented artist becomes increasingly obsessed with a mysterious woman who appears in his dreams and reality. As the lines between sanity and delusion blur, he descends into a nightmarish world where his creations take on a life of their own. The film explores themes of desire, identity, and the destructive nature of artistic obsession.
