Jeff, a street artist, falls madly in love with a frustrated artist, Mona. But instead of going to talk to her normally, he wraps himself in a package and mails it to her. As she opens the package, Mona kills him with the scissors.
The film was poorly received[2] by critics such as Variety's Oliver Jones, who lamented the film's lack of plot and compelling characters.[3] Reviewed at the Hamptons International Film Festival,[4] Balk's performance as Mona was lauded by critic David Schwartz.
