SYNOPSIS
Marilyn as a young child sits with her grandfather in the park the pair share a song that will stick with her through her days only as a memory. Awaking with a jolt, Marilyn is on a train. A young girl stares at her, unblinking. Unsettled, Marilyn escapes into a labyrinth of tiled tunnels and vibrating escalators, but the hum of voices grows. Claustrophobia takes hold. The lift feels impossibly far away. Reaching it is a relief—until glass shatters, darkness engulfs her, and reality begins to unravel. Doors lead to winding staircases, smashing glass, oppressive whispers from looming sculptures. Each escape pulls Marilyn back into the tunnel, trapped in an endless cycle of unease and disorientation. Her journey becomes a haunting kaleidoscope of fear, isolation, and confusion. When she finally steps into light, the truth is revealed.
