VIBE

This is a brittle, anxious character study, steeped in the tragicomic downfall of a woman clinging to a vanished opulent past. It's a discomforting exploration of mental fragility, self-deception, and the stark realities of class disparity, unfolding with a steady, observational gaze in a distinctly urban landscape.
