a short film by Rebecca Rojer

Neal (MAJED SAYESS), a brilliant inventor, and Linda (MARY KOOMJIAN), a former yoga instructor, run the Beauty Enlightenment Program, a religious movement promising physical perfection through spiritual awareness (and perhaps a little technological help). But when Neal discovers he is no longer attracted to the "enlightened" women he creates, he starts to question his organization and becomes obsessed with Michelle (DANIELLE MUEHLENBEIN), a new recruit who is somehow different from the other followers. When Linda finds out she is furious and vows to usher Michelle into enlightenment at any cost.
