Overview

Inside a bathroom, a woman dissolves. Not into water—but into identity. Set in an oneiric, liminal space, this experimental short dissects the most banal of routines—eliminate, change, wash—and refracts them through the prism of identity. What do we flush away, what do we conceal with powder and polish, what residue do we scrub from the self? The film doesn't offer answers. It exists in the space between viewer and image, where meaning is slippery and selfhood runs down the drain.

How it feels

Eerie, melancholic, absurd and dark. Slow-burning and demanding.

About

Identity, isolation, madness

Content

Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
