Office drone Maria Barbizan leads what looks like a meaningless life. She’s lonely, and she doesn’t really exist, at her job or within her family. One day, she does everything we’ve all dreamed of – she throws her purse and old life in the trash, and joins an enigmatic contest to win… a car. Locked in a room with four strangers, each more eccentric than the next, she must go through a series of challenges – a “competition to probe the very essence of mind-body articulation”, lead by Homunculus, an intriguing and curious host.

Viewing Notes
An exceedingly strange, absurdist comedy that feels a bit like a Quentin Dupieux film except it seems to have a point; I just didn’t quite grasp what it was.
Julien Richings turns in a great, deadpan performance as Homunculus, the host of the contest the other five cast members are competing in.
