This work draws inspiration from young women who have run away from home. Shot in an unused warehouse, the film is an exploration of absurdity and opacity; the viewer is uncertain about who is chasing whom, the sequence of the events or whether these depictions are drawn from fiction or reality. The performers’ faces are obscured by large drawings that become protagonists in the unfolding commotion, in which even the drawings demand to be freed from the restraints of the paper.
