Jeanne is so obsessed with eyebrows that, on the day she finds the perfect pair, she might commit the irreparable.

A two-minute film about eyebrow obsession spiraling into potential murder is exactly the kind of deranged premise that should be laughable but somehow *works*—Drouin commits to the bit so hard that the absurdity becomes genuinely unsettling, which is the whole point.
Drouin situates this squarely in the lineage of absurdist body-horror comedy, with careful attention to pacing and visual escalation that recalls the formal restraint of European short cinema—the constraint of two minutes becomes the film's greatest formal asset.
The decision to make the eyebrows themselves the gravitational center rather than a quirky character trait is what transforms this from a joke into something; Drouin's commitment to that single obsessive lens, sustained through sound and framing, makes the implausible feel inevitable.
