Pieces is a darkly surreal cinematic concoction. It is a dream-like rendering of forced collegiality under undesirable circumstances. It is a snapshot of subconscious pressures stemming from the fear of change, and the inability to improve one's situation despite, and paradoxically due to, those pressures. It's about what happens when one does something one loathes doing simply because the prospect of changing one's routine has come to seem an even more loathsome option.

Synopsis:
Two men and one woman convene one evening to play an odd and inexplicable parlor game, with which each of the three is obsessed in his or her own way. None of the three feels any particular desire to engage in said play, yet each feels compelled to do so in spite of much evidence that doing so is probably a bad idea. A mysterious figure takes a particular interest in the affair, and watches the proceedings with demonic glee.
