Experiencing Interruptions?

IF THERE IS HELL

After a disastrous day—his car breaking down, losing his job, receiving a ticket, and learning his mother has been hospitalized—a man meets his wife at a bar, hoping for comfort. As he recounts his misfortunes, subtle interruptions and strange glitches begin to fracture the narrative, hinting that something far more unsettling lies beneath the surface.

Director Statement

If there is hell… explores the idea that damnation maybe not be external punishment but internal entrapment. Rather than flames or demons, this film imagines hell as emotional recurrence—the inability to escape a moment of loss, regret, or failure.
