The short film focuses on two men sharing a bathtub, suggested to be war veterans. One is obsessively fearful of the tub’s drain, while the other remains nonchalant. Their dialogue deepens, and gradually a vine‑like tendril sprouts from the drain, turning the intimate setting into a surreal, unsettling confrontation with the unknown.
