When he exits the crime scene, the girl sees him and uncovers her own legs, which look like porcelain (?).

The haunting story of a woman slipping into insanity. Julie-Anne, a marginally successful career woman, is preparing dinner for her gruff and unsympathetic mother. As she cooks the mashed potatoes and sausages, she tells an indifferent audience of her mother and cat about a recent promotion at work.

A Whole New Day

Directed by William Garcia - Starring James Gandolfini

The story of an abusive alcoholic who wakes up in an abandoned apartment after a black-out. A man comes to on the floor of an empty apartment - no furniture, no decor on the walls, no gas in the stove. He has only his cell phone, a jacket, and a hangover. Somewhere else in the city, his wife is in a kitchen, harried by three rambunctious children, angry at her husband. She leaves a message on his cell phone that the marriage is over. He calls his friend Jimmy and tells him to get over here and to bring some beer. Then, a young woman he does not know walks into the apartment. What is going on?
