Conceived at the nexus of fantasy and flesh, The Lingering and the Stain records the actual etching of a poem onto skin by a blind tattooist. Bound to perfect stillness, the girl's mind wanders through the pain. Do her own thoughts direct the needle; or is she ruled by the consensual act? Who is writing? Part gruesome gothic neo-noir, part hyper-real documentary, The Lingering and the Stain is a literally spine-tingling short film.
