Ash ist süchtig nach Avalon. Wie viele andere taucht sie jeden Tag auf's Neue in die virtuelle Welt des berüchtigten, aber illegalen Computer-Games ein. Ash ist eine der härtesten Spiel-Profis. Sie gibt niemals auf, ehe nicht auch der letzte Gegner auf den simulierten Kriegsschlachtplätzen ausgeschaltet wurde. Doch auf eine Ebene drang sie bislang noch nie vor: der "Special Class A Level" von Avalon steht nur einer kleinen, elitären Gruppe von Spielern offen, wie etwa ihrem Freund Murphy, der seit kurzem jedoch völlig apathisch in einem Wachkoma dahinvegetiert. Als Ash nun die unglaubliche Chance erhält, selbst auf Level A aufzusteigen, zögert sie keine Sekunde. Sie hat jedoch keine Ahnung, dass sie damit das riskanteste Spiel ihres Lebens spielt. Von Level A kehrte bislang niemand wieder zurück...

This is a 50-minute, independently produced film that consists of 45 one-minute instances, each overflowing into the next in a gushing expression of creativity. Despite deliberately avoiding any explicit structure or object of reference, the film speaks for itself, leading the viewer through an unhinged and chaotic sequence that, despite its absurdity, feel completely relatable. It is a rendering of collective anxiety akin to Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, seeming to present a caricature of our fears out of real footage — to say you feel “as if a Lion is trying to break in your front door” might sound like an idyllic metaphor for your anxiety, but when the metaphor is made out of real footage, the absurdity appears to collapse into a kind of deranged realism. All your most irrational anxieties could well be real; the lion is really at the door.
