Lie Down, Breathe Out

Lie Down, Breathe Out

An anonymous patient wakes in a stark medical clinic, hurting and disoriented. Staff insist the procedure must proceed without pain relief: suffer now or suffer more later. As oddities multiply, hopes of escape dissolve into an oppressively surreal gauntlet. A claustrophobic horror about women’s bodily autonomy, told with precision, restraint and a backroom, institutional chill that leaves a mark.

The Knight

The Knight

It’s just another weeknight. Mum’s in the kitchen, prying, and Claude retreats to her room. Beneath the covers, thoughts of her crush spark a medieval fantasy of knights and romantic rescues – only this time, she flips the script. The Knight is a surreal romantic comedy about privacy, independence, and the pursuit of delicious desire that refuses to be interrupted.
