Synopsis

Roy has lost his motivation and spends his days at home. Finally his wife can't take it anymore and sends him away on an alternative treatment. The method is ridiculous. Roy doesn't understand what he's doing there. The therapist is strange, so strange that Roy suspects that something is wrong. When he wants to leave, things get unpleasant for real.

Mood and atmosphere

Dive into a surreal exploration of identity and motivation, where the atmosphere oscillates between unsettling and absurdly humorous. This film invites you to experience the depths of loneliness juxtaposed with the bizarre comfort of unconventional therapy. Picture a small, quirky town filled with eccentric characters, where the colors are muted yet vivid, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the unconventional. The pacing meanders like a slow autumn afternoon, creating a reflective space that mirrors the protagonist's internal struggle. With its dreamlike visuals and an offbeat soundtrack, this journey through self-discovery and existential questioning offers a unique blend of melancholy and hope, resonating with anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the human psyche in a world that feels both familiar and alien.
