A Jar of Sadness
0•8m•Released
Fantasy
The therapist gave Lynn a jar which the therapist said extracted/isolated Lynn's grief and whenever Lynn developed grief, before she could feel it herself, a candy would be produced in the jar. The film tells the story of how the 'separation' of grief gradually numbs and sickens a person, who eventually ingests a great deal of grief herself and then returns to a state of 'self'.
