PLOT

What does it even mean to superlike someone? In this four-minute chamber play, a nameless protagonist prepares dinner for a date who almost certainly won’t show up. She speaks her thoughts out loud for the first time, whispering to the food as if it were her absent lover—gently at first, then with growing violence. Between chopped vegetables and unanswered messages, a kitchen transforms into a stage for self-determination, desire, and silent brutality. A film about miscommunication, modern dating, and the absurd poetry of drifting between never seeing each other again and maybe forever.
