This short film is included in the following package(s): SHORTS: DIRRTY
The self-service laundromat, Frugal Wash attracts a colorful and often disgruntled clientele, including Rita Riat (aka The Bleacher), whose discovery of a missing sock sends her into a near nervous breakdown. Convinced it’s either the work of the misfits waiting for their laundry or the broken-down machinery, Rita begins her search. Diving deep into the washing machine for a closer look, Rita is sucked into its claustrophobic confines and into the depths of her subconscious.
There, she meets a dolphin-man trapped in a purgatory of lost socks. The bizarre ballet of seduction and revelation blurs reality for the pair, peeling back layers of Rita’s mundane life and exposing the harrowing truth behind the blood-stained sock that must be found.
