A young boy lives sheltered beneath his giant mother, safe in the cocoon of her care. But when a crack forms in her body and a tile falls, he’s drawn upward—curious, brave, and unaware that he’s climbing through her. As he explores the vast, beautiful, and fractured world above, both he and his mother must confront the truth: he’s growing, and she must let go. In the aftermath of their shared upheaval, they find a new kind of peace—changed, but together, under an open sky.

When Fleur, a workaholic, tries to leave her bathroom to go to work, she realizes she’s trapped inside. She doesn’t see that when she steps away from the door, the old creaky floorboards that blocked her door from opening no longer keep her trapped. She realizes she’s stuck, without her phone, a way out, or anyone to help her escape. She finds ways to be productive and keeps herself occupied at first, but she begins to lose her mind. She becomes happily delusional and starts to enjoy her situation, but suddenly she is forced to face her reflection in the mirror and see  what has become of herself. She looks at her face and finds that she can accept herself without being perfect. Once she has found this acceptance, she steps back and realizes that she is free from her bathroom at last, though the only thing keeping her locked inside was herself.
