2025 · 70 min

A quiet, heavy watch that lingers in the grey of a fading town, asking patience as it follows people running out of time.

How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, earnest and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, isolation, grief, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
