It’s all over!

A claustrophobic, surreal portrait of a young woman's isolated self-destruction, blending dark comedy with existential dread in a confined domestic space.

A young girl shuts herself away in her apartment and goes about her business in a strange way, as she wastes the night in the kitchen – humming all along.
