Strawb.

In this psycho-sexual thriller short, Laura pulls out all of the stops to surprise her partner Benno when he gets a home from work. She prepares a beautiful dinner, dons her new bright red lingerie slip, and even shaves her armpits only to be greeted by an ailing Benno who doesn’t have the capacity or awareness to pick up her desperate bid for connection. We watch tensions rise as the two navigate their conflicting agendas until it eventually leads to bloodshed.
