IMDb 7.8 RT 100%

Skip it tonight unless you're in the mood for experimental cinema that prioritizes mood and abstraction over narrative—this 14-minute avant-garde classic is brilliant but demands patience and repeated viewings to click. The perfect 100% RT score masks the fact that it's deliberately obscure, so save it for when you're actively seeking challenging art, not casual entertainment.

Plot

A woman returning home falls asleep and has vivid dreams that may or may not be happening in reality. Through repetitive images and complete mismatching of the objective view of time and space, her dark inner desires play out on-screen.
