Safe
“In the 21st century nobody will be… Safe.”
Drama
Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s, comes down with a debilitating illness with no clear diagnosis.
VIBE
A chillingly detached and unsettling exploration of suburban malaise and environmental anxiety. It feels like a fever dream, a sterile, quiet descent into paranoia where the familiar becomes terrifyingly alien.
