The Mole

2026 · 5 min

A quiet, disorienting descent into one exhausted man's inner world, more dreamlike than dramatic.

Directed by
Cristina Gagiu
Overview
Exhausted by the relentless pace of the construction site, Vali, a worker pushed to his limits, walks away from everything and begins digging a hole in the middle of a field. As he descends, reality shifts around him, carrying him through a series of spaces. Each place he passes through reflects his exhaustion, his fear, and his need for release.
How it feels
