Synopsis:
While Ingrid is washing the dishes, ruminating upon her life, thinking about all the many mean little things, certain forces beyond her control, quite possibly supernatural, start to activate as the sink begins to fill of it's own accord. As this odd, Kafkaesque, absurdity manifests, it leads first Ingrid, then her husband Greg, into deeper and ever more frightening considerations of their relationship, their place and status in the world, and ultimately their very own sense of reality.
Running Time - 14min
Genre - Thriller
Director / Writer Statement:
What started off with a simple, comedic premise, based on the very common experience made all the more acute during quarantine, of dealing with a never ending pile of dishes, evolved into a gateway allowing the consideration of privilege, responsibility, dreaming, ambitions, relationships, and even existence.
