A man finds his past and future have gone awry in the wake of an accident in this psychological drama from filmmaker F.J. Ossang. Stan Van Der Decken (Guy McKnight) and his girlfriend Délie Starkov (Elvire) are enjoying an afternoon of water skiing when they have an accident that leaves Stan in a coma. Délie suffers an emotional breakdown while Stan is in the hospital, and when he finally regains consciousness, he finds he can no longer remember many of the events of his past. When Stan learns that Délie is under the care of a psychiatrist, Doctor Ewers (Diogo Dória), he sets out to find them, and is eager to resume work on a screenplay he's been writing. But Stan soon notices that the screenplay seems to have anticipated many of the recent crises in his life, and his life becomes all the more confusing when he learns a team of researchers want to speak to him about his family history. Dharma Guns was an official selection at the 2010 Venice Film Festival.
