Spoilers ahead

A surreal office world where reality bending becomes the norm unfolds as ordinary workers go about their day, only to discover their surroundings constantly shifting around them. Clothes subtly change on their bodies without notice, conversations fade away, and during a meeting the participants seem to be drawn together by an invisible static. Outside the office, two men shake hands; when their hands touch, they melt into one another and then reemerge moments later with completely reversed physical characteristics. In another moment, men in the room manipulate others’ bodies, contorting them and tying limbs into knots with their own arms and legs.
