Four women in a Bogotá nail salon turn everyday gestures into increasingly monstrous movement.

The scouts
A nail salon becomes a laboratory for the grotesque — Steiner takes the most mundane, feminized space imaginable and weaponizes it into something that makes you deeply uncomfortable, which is exactly the move everyone else would avoid.
The transformation of quotidian gesture into choreographed monstrosity recalls the body horror lineage of Tusk and early Cronenberg, though Steiner's four-minute constraint forces a formal precision that feels closer to dance cinema than genre cinema.
The decision to keep the salon setting *static* while the bodies become unmoored is what makes this work — that tension between stasis and deformation, between the everyday frame and the impossible movement, does everything the budget can't afford to spend.
