This short film immerses us in the reality of a young woman struggling with an eating disorder, inspired by personal experiences. We discover her daily life through a snapshot of her existence, punctuated by poignant and metaphorical visual scenes.
The film begins with the young woman entering her bathroom, a place of stereotypical “perfection” in pastel colors. She gazes at herself at length in the multiple mirrors with almost obsessive attention before spitting out her gum and sticking it under the sink, which is already cluttered with old pieces of gum.

After this act, she gradually sinks into her own version of reality—a world where her perceptions are distorted. There, we discover her inner conflict with the diseased part of her mind, which takes the form of a giant version of herself trapped in this room that is too small for her, where every object, every innocent gesture causes it to resurface.
