Raticide

João Niza Ribeiro

Fiction / HD / 23’ / 2022

On a night like indistinguishable from the previous or the next, Carlos sees himself locked out of his bedroom. Beyond the door, a rat as taken over, without a courtesy call or warning. Carlos is forced to deal with a progressively eroded reality, unable to face what lies inside his bedroom.
