A philosophically dense mystery that dissolves into epistemological uncertainty, using a suicide and a vanishing thief to interrogate the nature of evidence, reality, and meaning.

When a man chases down his stolen movie camera, the thief commits suicide by jumping off a building. But after the police take the camera as evidence, it becomes unclear if there was ever a thief in the first place.
