Eye to Eye (2022)

Mia struggles to find the courage to break up with Taavi and gets lost in spiralling fears from which there seems to be no exit. At a bar with Taavi, Mia tries to avoid having the difficult conversation by fleeing to the toilet. A cleaning lady grabs her jacket and takes it with her to one of the stalls. Confused Mia follows her and finds a strange museum-like world behind the door. She goes from room to room to find her jacket but keeps meeting people in her life instead. All of them have something critical to say about Mia, her life and her relationship. The lost jacket becomes a symbol of Mia’s lost identity, and the museum tries to force her to give it up for good. Mia has to come to terms with the judgments of the people closest to her and find the courage to follow through with what she feels is right for her.
