An avant-slapstick edu-thriller starring a cast of absurdist physical comedians. During a house party which we never see, seven people visit the bathroom one by one. Whether they come there to escape a bad interaction, to empty their bladder, to moisturize, to vandalize, to scrub their tongue, or to open the floodgates of their heart, the bathroom serves as a portal for where their minds and bodies need to go.
