Experiencing Interruptions?

Glass Cage

Glass Cage” is a poignant and haunting exploration of the internal battle between the life we think we should live and the one we truly need. Through a visual tapestry that mirrors Ethan’s emotional descent, the film delves into the quiet, painful moments that define us—the small choices, the fleeting connections, and the realization that hope can be found in the unlikeliest of places. This is a story about resilience, about healing, and about the fragility of happiness, reminding us that sometimes, the first step toward a better life is simply reaching out, even when the glass seems too thick to break.
