The absurdist collection is accompanied by Dixieland jazz and similar music.

The Metaphor That Became a Room (2025)
The Metaphor That Became a Room is a psychological drama exploring identity, communication, and the struggle for self-understanding. Divided into two parts, the film first delves into the protagonist’s frustration with the urge to persuade others, realizing that over-explaining only distorts meaning. A note from the past echoes a hard truth: “Someone’s unwillingness to understand will always outweigh your effort.” In A Symphony of Unfinished Selves, the narrative shifts inward, revealing the protagonist’s fractured identity. Trapped in a metaphorical room built from illusions and contradictions, he reflects on his dual persona—the social facade and the hidden, lost self. The film questions how we see ourselves versus how others see us and whether true self-recognition is possible. Through minimalist dialogue and layered symbolism, the film captures the silent tension between who we are, who we appear to be, and who we long to become.

Delirium (2025)
A bucolic fantasy frolic in which an adaptable young woman must navigate a bewildering and whimsical phantasmagoria, populated by anthropomorphic and bombastic creatures. The characters she encounters, she discovers, reject established facts and knowledge in favour of: galvanising, albeit meaningless soundbites (often in the form of riddles and poetry), vigilantism and its blunt implementation of “justice” and cult-like acts of dissent. Ironically, leading these academic rebellions are the establishment figures themselves.
