Dummy(2023)

Just Breathe

Dummy is a surreal comedy-drama about Bill, a recently divorced man whose ordinary life takes a strange turn when a respiratory training dummy named Anne inexplicably follows him home from work. What begins as a peculiar, almost magical encounter gradually spirals into something far darker and more unsettling. As Bill's grip on reality loosens, the boundary between the dummy's presence and his own unraveling mind becomes increasingly blurred. The film balances absurdist humor with creeping dread, exploring themes of isolation, obsession, and the ways grief can distort perception. What seems like a whimsical intervention becomes a slow-burn nightmare that challenges both Bill and the audience to question what's real.
