    This program of seven short films explores the tension between performance and authenticity — from influencer baiting in Central Park to a home assistant’s existential crisis. Whether it’s a third martini that opens the door to mystery, a stoner’s worldview shaken by an old friend, or a chef devoured by perfectionism, each story blends absurdity with raw emotion. These are tales of connection, confusion, and the strange flavors of being human.
