In search of independence, a young woman moves out of her childhood home and into a place of her own. But independence comes with a cost as she navigates her decaying relationships in the looming presence of an encroaching spore invasion. A coming-of-age story tinged with climate anxiety, inspired by the real-life environmental catastrophes hitting the Pacific Northwest, including heat waves, floods, and (impending) earthquakes.

Tasked with laying off the employees of his father’s company during a work party, an inept man tries to lessen the blow in a misguided effort.

Through dreamy textures and thermal imaging, the film hums with quiet longing, lost signals, and the strange intimacy of distance.
