The members of a dysfunctional family find themselves mysteriously trapped in an antiquated furniture store when their elderly matriarch suddenly refuses to get up from one of the display couches.

VIBE

This film feels like a peculiar, slow-burn exploration of familial bonds stretched to their breaking point. It's an uncomfortable yet darkly humorous dive into the absurdities of human connection, set against a strangely static backdrop. Expect a quirky, melancholic meditation on the ties that bind, and sometimes trap, us.
