Story

A private laboratory that stores souls seems to be the way out of a crisis in the life of actor Paul (Paul Giamatti). After a while of living without the pressure of his own soul, Paul rents a Russian poet’s soul. And he discovers a black market for souls, in the hand of a syndicate. Meanwhile his own soul has been smuggled to St. Petersburg, where it inhabits a soap opera star. A bizarre tragicomedy.
