Released in May 2025, the film follows Main Character (MC), an individual deeply disillusioned with waking reality who discovers a surreal inner sanctuary known as the "Dream State." Within this trippy, heavily color-graded landscape, MC encounters personified mental forces: the confrontational entity Boredom, the enticing presence of Creativity, and a stern Dream-like Therapist.
