What begins as an absurd discussion between two friends on a sofa slowly derails; as questions pile up, certainties crack and the gaze upon oneself wavers.

Two people on a sofa talking themselves into ontological vertigo — it's comedy that refuses the punchline and drama that doesn't earn its catharsis, which is exactly why it works. Delorme commits to the derailment without apology, and that refusal to stabilize is genuinely subversive.
The restraint here is surgical: a single location, two voices, and the formal discipline to let uncertainty become the subject rather than resolve it, situating itself squarely in the lineage of Beckett's conversational absurdism filtered through contemporary unease.
The decision to let the camera stay *still* while the dialogue fractures—not cutting away, not punctuating the breakdown with visual flourish—is what makes the psychological unraveling land; it's a choice that costs nothing and earns everything.
