Film Synopsis:
"Death can be dreadful and worthwhile, depending on where you stand.
In the Dead and the Dreaming, eight tales unravel deaths secrets, as
the characters unravel theirs. On a dark country road, a hit man
finds a reason. On the rivers edge, two white trash thugs find the
rhyme. While two men debate bullets over cancer, four gunrunners
debate death over prison. As one madman plays a lethal game of chess,
another falls for the photographer who stalks him. Ranging from
foreign language to silent film, The Dead and the Dreaming throws
different flowers at the coffin. Eight short films tell a story with
one message: Death is a mysterious creature; teaching while it takes
away."
