Told in a looping-narrative, “The Mushroom” is a short film about a couple who topples through a surreal free-fall where foraged mushrooms hold the macabre connection between life and death. Each repetition of the story reveals more ambiguous and nefarious layers of the characters being revealed.

After a numerous amount of aggressions, four young women, living in a Catholic Orphanage Refuge, will create their own guerilla against a men’s gang operating with total impunity in the neighborhood.
