If we disagree, promise to never disappear…

A screenwriter living inside his story struggles to define his characters and himself. As he grapples to create or to procreate, his characters, twins known as brother and sister revisiting their childhood home, realize their past does not align with a reel of home film they find. They begin to question the validity of their identities and the permanence of memory, forming a world of their own. Afraid of losing control, the screenwriter begins to delete them from the story. He experiences this as the death of his characters and the story world dissolving into physical media, while to the characters it is the author who has been deleted, abandoning them. Experiencing this as a traumatic childhood, the characters are confronted with their newfound independence and the notion that they can manipulate the fabric of their own world in this mind bending Bomar Brothers film.
