This short is a one-shot scene about a teenage girl who has grown used to hearing her parents fight. Sitting at a table, she puts on her headphones and scrolls on her phone while the conflict unfolds in the background. As the scene escalates, lighting and performance gradually transform the image, revealing her younger self playing with toys in the same space. Using a continuous take and shifts in lighting, the film explores childhood memory, emotional numbness, and the coping mechanisms children develop in unstable home environments.
