A loving couple is introduced to us right at the film’s onset. While the wife beckons her husband to bed, he has a battle to overcome before he follows her call - readying a script for work the following day. In the struggle, another similar story is conjured of another couple where the man, once again, grapples with turning in a long-due script.
The story-within-a-story approach of the film continues to portray elements of thrill, as well as violence. When the narrative concludes, one that the protagonist had been weaving, we are presented with a moment of intimacy, but only a fleeting one as it is soon subverted most shockingly. All of these components aim to enhance the storytelling, the most notable aspect of the film.
The driving force of the film eventually becomes the echoing of the idea of how overlaps exist within the bubble of our existence. The faces we see in our day-to-day lives might have a bigger role to play than we realize at first glance as they bleed into our fantasies and the things we concoct inside our heads. Though there is a little inconsistency in the visual and sound departments, the end result remains lucid in the communication of all this, while also presenting a set of zealous performances.
