Still Life is a 2007 Filipino film written, directed, and produced by Katski Flores and starring Glaiza de Castro with John Lloyd Cruz in a minor cameo role.
[1] James Masino is a gifted painter diagnosed with Gillian Barre Syndrome or GBS.
Facing a future where he can no longer paint, James packs up his life in the city and enters a self-imposed exile at a friend's isolated house on a deserted island.
His plans are thwarted when a girl shows up at the house, named Emma, who claims she has also been given access by the owner to spend a few days there.
It turns out he didn't, and the entire experience, including meeting Emma, was just a dream.
The last scene shows James being interviewed by an actor, and he tells him he doesn't know what happened, nor can he explain it.
