Logline:
Remy is confronted with the realities of post-lockdown life when communication with their online best friend begins to break down.

Synopsis:
Remy spent the pandemic isolating in their room; working as a freelance artist, falling down internet rabbit holes and hanging out online with their overseas best friend Bea. As lockdown restrictions ease up and Bea begins a new full-time job, the two are forced to readjust how they communicate and stay connected; working on conflicting schedules across different time-zones. Remy tries to fill the void Bea left while remaining within the confines of their bedroom, spawning anxieties about their identity, social life and feelings for their best friend that begin to overwhelm them.
