Experiencing Interruptions?

Shapeless

When Maika’s girlfriend presents her with an ultimatum that has the potential to save their relationship or end it for good, she reluctantly accepts. Over the next 24 hours, the two prepare to
undergo a ritual that will physicalize their love. But when Maika gets cold feet, their already tenuous dynamic begins to spiral into something monstrous.
