Laura is trapped in a toxic relationship with a famous rapper, quietly enduring his selfish outbursts. After a violent argument, her reality begins to distort as she wanders through a bleak, ghostly suburb, feeling increasingly isolated and adrift. Haunted by obsessive thoughts and repressed memories, she struggles with social anxiety driven by a fear of missing out and an inability to form healthy relationships. Because of (U) blends documentary style with magical realism to uncover the lonely masks we wear to hide painful truths, while capturing the fragile and often contradictory dynamics of romantic relationships.
Tohé Commaret (France/Chile, 1992). Lives and works in Paris.
