Foam

2020 · 28 min

A quiet, grounded slice of life that slowly tightens into quiet dread as a makeshift family faces erasure.

Overview: The car repair shop is their second home and their colleagues are like family. Everyone has their quirks and is accepted for the way they are. But then comes the bad news: they are soon to be squeezed out by a more lucrative new building project.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, warm and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, work, isolation, class
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
