A breakfast that'll ruin your appetite forever — in 12 gorgeous minutes.
A boy is cooking, a girl is waiting. Breakfast is soon served. Then a stranger enters the bedroom where the girl is lying and the nightmare begins. A short film about love and dependence, about relationships and the urge to break out. Experimental, atmospheric and drenched in neon red.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Röber plays both the Boy and the intruding Stranger, literally embodying the film's fractured identity theme through casting alone.
The neon-red aesthetic directly invokes the 'Giallo' horror tradition, but repurposes its voyeuristic male gaze into something more self-lacerating.
