Sexy, strange and beautifully deranged.

Drama

Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance...that is until a stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father, meanwhile, ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be "overrated."

VIBE

A deeply strange, yet oddly tender exploration of human connection and isolation. It feels like eavesdropping on awkward, profound moments, set against a backdrop of existential dread and quiet observation. Unconventional and thought-provoking.
