Macau: the Las Vegas of Asia - the city of dreamscapes and epiphanies, nightmares and fantasies...

In this world where dreams and realities collide, the story is an interior journey exploring the deepest level of one's own identity - How do we define the "Self"? What is our concept of an Individual? What if we could become the person we truly want to be - genetically, as well as possessing all their memories? And would we really become that other person? The film posits the question: "Do we really know who we are?"

Deanie, the Cultural Minister of Macau, reunites inside the White Church with her husband Mr. Kam, the famous jazz saxophonist who has been missing for years. Mr. Kam, whose face is badly burnt and almost unrecognizable, is taken to a very special clinic to undergo a 'Rejuvenation' program - a state-of-the-arts plastic surgery combined with genetic engineering that modifies DNA. It is at this moment when Deanie has another idea - she decides to undergo the process herself as well. When the bandages are finally removed from Deanie's face after the program is complete, she is irreversibly transformed. And from this onwards, the characters evolve into something entirely eerie, culminating in the discovery of something even darker inside Velvet Eyes, Club Cocaine's exclusive private club, where fantasy and reality are coalesced with devastating results...

Part Francois Ozon, part David Lynch, this surrealist art-house docudrama with four different endings and two different versions (one in Macau and the other in Las Vegas) is bound to create the biggest buzz in the film festival circuits.
