A 35-minute fever dream where loneliness wears many faces—some human, some very much not.
Simon lives in the ruins of a lonely desert farm. He is not, however, alone. Caregiver to a gravely ill roommate from a childhood long past and in regular contact with beings from a far away place, Simon's home life is very full indeed.
