Our take
Playfully exploring existential anxiety, Matthew Porterfield and Nicolasa Ruiz’s reality-blurring new short captures relatable fears about day-to-day life. Following a curious protagonist down a rabbit hole of intrigue, this vibrantly shot film turns urban mundanity into an enchanting wonderland.
