Here's a synopsis for The 4th Life from the official website for the movie: "In this surreal thriller, mysterious blonde Marie March takes a journey to the town of Darckeville to scam a priceless set of antiques from an eccentric collector, but also to get away from the clutches of her overbearing older husband. On the freight train to Darckeville, fevered sensual dreams and dark childhood memories crowd her troubled mind - portentous omens of an unresolved past hurrying to catch up with her. Caz, a beautiful but psychopathic ex-lover from years ago has discovered Marie's whereabouts; she is on a mission to fight betrayal and defend those who have been hurt by 'love'. She wants Marie all to herself - and if she can't have Marie, then no one can. Set against a backdrop of fading dreams, broken aspirations, and the crumbling ruins of a decaying town coloured with strange characters, their separate paths collide with explosive results."

The 4th Life had its world première at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Fest in Italy on October 3rd of last year. It was screened at Cinénygma - Luxembourg International Film Festival on October 22nd of last year.
