What do "fly" and "life" have in common? Ask Peter, a man immersed in the simultaneous fear and fascination of time accelerating with age. Approaching the twilight of his life, his fascination morphs into an obsession, driving him to adopt increasingly extreme measures to combat the relentless march of time. Though the truth may lie in the brain of a beetle, the descent into paranoid obsession remains a self-evident journey in Parabella's short film.
