A disorienting, emotionally raw montage that feels like piecing together a trauma from fragments of memory and violence.

Tagline: The true form of "Evangelion: Death."
Overview: A highly experimental film presenting a story out of chronological order taking place 15 years after a near-apocalyptic catastrophe, about four traumatized 14 year olds who are tasked with piloting massive humanoid decisive weapons called Evangelion, the psychologically maladjusted adults who handle and command them, and the events and forces that affect them or which they take part in as they engage massive hostile invaders known as "Angels."
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and eerie. Measured and demanding.
About: Trauma, isolation, identity, survival
