Excuse Me

Shorts

6 minutes| 2021

Bullied by her 'friend' at work, Lucia's repressed feelings erupt as violent sounds. Mortified and scared, she excuses herself to the loo, where her feelings become as loud and clear as music. Lucia must choose whether to reject the truth erupting from inside her body, or accept the invitation to dance with her demons.
