Unfolding over the course of an airline flight, alternating between the perspectives of Jason, in first class with the film people, and his wife Lilia, in tourist class with their child, and intercut with the film script itself, Serpent is a modernist, elliptical masterpiece on the complex relationship between life and art."--Publisher description.
