2025 · 119 min

A quiet, talk-heavy chamber piece that feels like sitting in on real therapy, unsettling and intimate.

How it feels: Melancholic, tense, earnest and cynical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, isolation, art, memory
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
