Arriving on an empty shore while holding a bouquet of dying flowers, Julian Hurr enters a neighborhood searching for the woman and home of dreams. Guided by a cryptic diner waitress, he finds Vermillion, the enigmatic but strangely unreal woman he always longed for. Julian drifts between memory, dream, and waking life as he wanders through deserted streets, pondering the choices presented to him. As he confronts echoes of his younger self he begins to glimpse the artifice of the world around him. In a world where homes, lovers, and even time feel constructed, Ill Defined Shadows traces one man’s search for connection and the illusions that shape our desire.

Ill Defined Shadows is a tonal proof of concept for the feature film Hollow Hearts and Ill Defined Shadows.
