About this film+

A man gets trapped in a deep sand pit with a lonely woman who must constantly shovel to keep her house from being buried. It explores themes of endless labor and how people adapt to strange, confined lives. The black and white shots are full of sharp textures and high contrast that make the sand look both vast and suffocating.
