Spoilers ahead
In a quiet suburban night, a teenager named Julie is left in charge of a younger girl, Dorothy, while the parents are out on their own. Dorothy interrupts Julie’s phone call with a friend, explaining she needs more money because she is helping to babysit, a detail that makes Julie roll her eyes but carry on with the night. The room where Dorothy sleeps holds a curious collection: a pile of dolls and teddy bears, and among them a large patchwork rabbit that dominates the shelf and the mood of the space. The setting feels ordinary at first, but a sense of unease quietly takes hold as the quiet hum of the house becomes the only soundtrack to the evening.
