Tones: absurdist, darkly comic
An influencer up to his usual antics, an ordinary girl starting her day and an embarrassing scene that keeps repeating capture a society absorbed by social media in thirty seconds.

Three seconds in and you realize the loop isn't a gimmick—it's the actual thesis, which is balls-out audacious for a 3-minute satire that could've just been a lazy TikTok dunking on influencers. Peris gets that the real horror isn't the embarrassment; it's that nobody stops watching.
The repetition structure echoes Groundhog Day's formal inheritance while operating in an entirely different register—a compression of recursive narrative into 180 seconds that demands precision in every cut and sound cue to avoid collapsing into mere internet humor.
The decision to hold on the ordinary girl's face across repeats—letting her micro-expressions do the emotional work while the influencer performs the same chaos—is the move that transforms what could be a one-note premise into something that actually *sees* its characters.
