Erika Yeomans sees a young man's photo in an art magazine and decides to track him down. Problem is: he's Dutch, he's a performance artist, and he's dead. Supposedly. That doesn't stop her from creating her own mission to get near him — a mission that turns out to mirror certain things about his life. (The Dutch artist was named Bas Jan Ader.) (17 minutes)
