About This Movie

It’s a slow burn that focuses on the subtleties of everyday life, punctuated by moments of introspection and odd interactions with art and visitors. The pacing can feel deliberate, allowing you to sit in the quietness, and almost meditate on the art.

There’s something haunting about it, really.
