A slow-burning masterpiece of quiet loneliness. Rating: 8.5/10
The story follows Fran (), an office worker living in a coastal Oregon town. Fran’s life is defined by a rigid, solitary routine: she works at a desk, eats alone, and observes the mundanity of her coworkers' lives from a distance. Her internal world, however, is far from mundane—it is filled with vivid, surreal daydreams of her own death, such as her body lying in a forest or hanging from a crane. These thoughts aren't actively suicidal but serve as a strange form of mental escape from her profound isolation.

When a new coworker, (Dave Merheje), joins the office and takes a genuine interest in her, Fran is forced to confront the wall she has built around herself. The film unfolds as a delicate, slow-burn romance that never spoon-feeds its emotions. Instead, it invites viewers to sit with discomfort, silence, and the small, brave act of saying “I like you” to another person. A slow-burning masterpiece of quiet loneliness
