Cleopatra

A divorced Sicilian-Brooklyn woman scraping by in Los Angeles wakes after every sleep into a different version of her own life in the same city, and must master her shifting reigns before a rival who travels the same way collapses every version of her into the one he can own.

One woman, many lives, the same face in every mirror. A sci-fi drama that stays at street level: Brooklyn roots, Sicilian family, Los Angeles light, and every morning a different world wearing the same address. The tells are small and concrete: a flicked cigarette lands standing on end, a phone answers with her own voice, déjà vu that will not close.

Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
Kurt Vonnegut

Bagombo Snuff Box, 1999
