TRACES

SYNOPSIS

The 23-year-old Eva has an accursed gift: She can experience events from the past. When she encounters charismatic Alex, she is persuaded to move into the same apartment building in which Alex’s boyhood crush was murdered under unexplained circumstances.

In order to gain access to the dead girl’s past, Eva begins to take on her personality — not realizing that this transformation will draw the attention of the killer.

So begins a criminal investigation of an unusual character.

Through the systematic re-staging of the past, Eva and Alex attempt to provoke her visions. Soon, they have their first success. Yet, the more the puzzle pieces of Nora’s memories come together in a complete image, the more markedly Eva begins to change. In her head, Nora’s memories begin to mix with her own. How far can she go without losing her identity to the dead woman?

TRACES is a crime drama. A “Whydunnit” set in the morbid setting of a dilapidated apartment building. One ingredient makes this hunt for a murderer unusual: the mysterious ability of the medium who can experience events of the past. The present becomes a paper-thin facade through which the past shimmers like a buried layer.
