Something is getting in: or getting out! This collection of Lynchian vignettes lives in the liminal space between the grounded and the uncanny, where the supernatural arrives not to terrify but to *reveal*.

A poolside mystic dispenses unlikely wisdom to a man who has bet everything on a dream. A young man escapes his basement prison and finds the tribe he never knew he had. A ghost awakens unexpected desires in a young woman. A child summons something unseen and malevolent while his mother prepares dinner. A photographer at a metal show takes in the scenery and finds herself haunted in ways both erotic and existential. A desperate pilgrimage yields a miracle that may not be one. A waitress endures a man who won't stop, and then watches impassively when he finally does. A woman sits in an interrogation room accused of unspeakable crimes and unravels between what she saw and what was real. 

These are films about thresholds: identities in flux, bodies under pressure, psyches pulled toward the edge of what they can hold. The genre elements here are never the point; they're the *language*, the cinematic shorthand for interior states that ordinary drama can't quite reach. Spectral, surreal, sensual, and quietly destabilizing, this block travels somewhere strange, somewhere dark, and somewhere true.
