Short description

Short film selected for the Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight Lineup. A documentary that explores how a woman's movie collection triggers her infidelity. Created for one viewer—the woman whose confessions are revealed through hypnotic second-person narration. All events and artifacts are presented at a steady, soothing pace.
