tbr
A dark, mystical
musical short film
that follows the escalating
transformation of a young artist
teetering on the thin line between
passion and obsession.
Isolated in a recording studio, the young artist Daisy strives for perfection—perfection in her passion for music, in her performance, and in her being as a person.
To achieve this, she scrutinizes video recordings of her rehearsals and discovers that she can communicate with her alter ego trapped on the screen. A sinister power dynamic develops between the two. Driven by a desire for self-improvement, she becomes her own harshest coach. Ruthlessly intolerant of mistakes, Daisy forces her reflection to improve and push beyond its limits. Sing higher, lower, dance faster, more! Her passion becomes obsession and she loses control. The recording studio goes up in flames. Once destroyed, the alter ego re-emerges amidst the remains and takes on a life of its own.
