Representatives from a major security brand, an advertising agency and a production company meet at a so-called offline meeting, to try to agree on the final cut of a commercial film. The commercial is supposed to promote the company’s diverse profile, but the problems begin when the client thinks two of the black actors look too much alike.

Dialogue so painfully real you'll swear they recorded your last Zoom.
Acting
Laila Goody's deadpan producer holding chaos together by fingernails.
Direction
Tight single-location pressure cooker. No escape, no mercy.
Director
Mauritz Brekke Solberg
