Set in a broken future world, this short film allows a peek into the life of Demeter - a character described as tough, brilliant and completely psychotic. However, perception is everything - nothing is ever as it seems. Demeter must come to terms with people from her past, including her one-time mentor Nalos and her former partner, Daphene.

A man who is a scholar of ancient Japanese haiku poetry is profoundly affected by the love of one woman. As he tells the story of their chance encounter on a New York City sidewalk which lead to their brief but all-consuming romance, he realizes such intensity often dissipates like the stanzas of a haiku: they are over too fast, never quite understood but forever beautiful.
