An intense 14-minute dramedy that screened at Tribeca,
We open on Alex (Victoria Ratermanis) waking up in a hotel room, discombobulated and imminently on stage at a business conference, having hooked up with Carey the night before. We do not see said hookup; rather, it is obviously and sensorily implied by the setting and Rice’s smart use of sound in his direction over otherwise monotonous images. Alex wants out, and Carey, who is expertly played by Jim Cummings’ effective brand of bumbling nice guy, earnestly accepts her swift exit. That is, until she uses the bathroom and realises her menstrual disc has become stuck inside her, and she needs Carey’s help to remove it.
Victoria Ratermanis also created the film and co-wrote the final script.
I enlarged the captures, but there’s still not much to see. No detail of her crotch is visible.
