Screening selection by Lumír Nykl
The night before a job interview, Sara wakes up in an enchanted building under construction. Trapped characters wandering through the ruins face their fears and experience grievances, yearning, or cathartic mourning.
A mysterious parable somewhere between immersive theater, a music video, and a gaming video essay about a “secret developer room”, a deliberately hidden storage of characters in video games. The strict set design, reminiscent of ghost stories about liminal spaces, is fleshed out by a cryptic coming-of-age narrative, social micro-dramas hidden in allegories, and an intense soundtrack.
