At her surprise birthday party, an emotionally fragile woman begins experiencing disturbing, otherworldly phenomena—threatening to turn the best night of her life into a never-ending nightmare.
Grimmfest Says: A mischievous and mind-blowing masterclass in misdirection and viewer deception, this starts out as a sly social comedy of manners in which a mismatched group of friends trade barbed bon mots at a surprise birthday party, only for things to grow ever more… slippery; ever more surreal and dreamlike. Boundaries get blurred. Nothing is quite as it seems. Are we in present day suburbia, or in some alien and alienating future world on the brink of an apocalyptic war? Speculative science fiction and psychedelic psychodrama meld with social commentary, satire, and Sartre in an exploration of existential anxiety, identity, memory and the moment of ultimate transcendence. You’ve never been to a birthday party quite like it.
Followed by a Q&A with the director and lead actress.
