David spends his days restoring damaged marble and hardwood, removing old scars until the surface looks untouched. His own life is less easily repaired. At night, he waits outside his ex-wife’s loft, unable to move on from what has already been lost.

Then a stranger pulls him out of a bar seconds before a massacre begins.

From there, time starts to slip. Moments repeat, hours disappear and unfamiliar patterns begin to emerge. The stranger gives David a series of obscure assignments he calls Moments, but offers little explanation of what they mean or where they are leading.

As David moves through an increasingly unstable reality, grief, obsession and conspiracy become difficult to separate. Blending psychological horror, time-bending science fiction, Kafkaesque unease and deadpan humor, Lamina follows a man searching for order in a world that refuses to provide it.

Wolfgang Lehmkuhl is a writer-director based in St. Louis, Missouri. Lamina is his latest feature film. For ten years, he worked exclusively with analogue film photography, creating portraits that seemed to pull their subjects out of the darkness.

His short films include Fate Accompli, the award-winning Strumpet, and Psychological Sample. He has also directed music videos for Bob Reuter’s Alley Ghost and Kevin Renick and Friends.
