What happens in Buttwhistle from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film unfolds in a deliberately choppy, surreal rhythm, using sudden absurdities as a mirror for the dialogue and the emotional tensions simmering beneath the surface. It begins with a jarring image: a man in an office head that suddenly explodes, a moment that recurs as a quiet, ominous news bulletin threading through the narrative. In a desolate abandoned warehouse, we meet Ogden as he ruminates on a never-started gymnastics career, speaking with his friend Hate Crime John while shadows and dust swirl around them. Nearby, Roz—a young woman they both know—shows off a new tattoo and leaves with her biker boyfriend, a small but telling disruption in the social web surrounding Ogden.
