VIBE

This film feels like a raw, off-kilter journey into fragile masculinity and unexpected connection. It’s a bittersweet, darkly comedic character study, wrapped in a low-fi aesthetic, where awkwardness gives way to a strange, tender vulnerability. Prepare for a uniquely uncomfortable yet ultimately poignant experience.
