"Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid utilizes colour tinting and complex montage to create a surreal portrait of a young woman's dreamscape. Taking a sleeping pill before bed, Kathleen's worst fears come to life as the medication begins to affect her dreams. Surreal nightmares of love lost amidst the bleak countryside and love's unwanted return on the city streets, twist the boundaries between her unconscious state and waking life" (EAFA Database).
