A woman bumps into her ex at a vet clinic and triggers a low-grade jealousy spiral in her current boyfriend. The plot beats are barely legible by design — it's a vibe machine in a waiting room.

The scouts
Story beats so loose they're practically rumors — and somehow Tallie Medel still anchors it. If a film can't be summarized in a logline it usually means there's something actually going on, and there is.
Peg routes a jealousy triangle through a vet-clinic waiting room and lets the plot beats stay barely legible — vibe machine that earns the comparison to Funny Ha Ha for its disinterest in tidy stakes. Cohesive on its own logic.
A jealousy triangle rerouted through a veterinary clinic — Peg's esoteric scene-building leans on vibe over legibility, which is interesting but harder to grade without seeing it move.
Reviews
Delivered as a medley of bizarre shifts and barely discernible story beats, the film is intriguingly chaotic and one-of-a-kind.
