In the organizer's words:

Dust Bunny

"I want you to kill the monster under my bed!" Little Aurora puts her last hope in her neighbor from 5B. She has already seen him fearlessly fighting dragons on the rooftops at night. After her foster parents have already fallen victim to the bestial creature, the girl lives alone in the run-down Art Deco apartment complex on the edge of New York's Chinatown. But 5B is not a man who indulges in fantasies. His very real mission is to clear the streets of enemies, and his superior Laverne expects a high success rate. But what if the monster under Aurora's bed actually exists?

A dark fable for adults, told from the perspective of a ten-year-old - with Mads Mikkelsen as a contract killer sabering his way through triad gangs and Sigourney Weaver as his hard-boiled boss. After successful series such as HANNIBAL, Bryan Fuller now enchants with an exuberant, fantastic feature film debut that is reminiscent of the stories of Roald Dahl and the narrative worlds of Joe Dante and Jim Henson.
