1. Afterimage
A young Irish servant takes a position in a remote Victorian household and becomes the muse and collaborator of an obsessive photographer and his adventurous, mapmaking wife. As art and desire entangle with class and power, the three form an intense triangle that tests loyalty, identity, and the limits of freedom. The story unfolds in luminous, unsettling moments that reveal the costs of creation and intimacy within a rigid social order.
