Cough up, scrub down and strap in for a triptych of surreal shorts.
Stuck in endless Lockdown isolation, three characters find different ways of managing as the days tick over and thoughts turn into visions of madness.
In association with HOME, Manchester, Ad Infinitum brings an assortment of darkly comic, twisted tales online for the very first time, exploring solitude and the richness of our internal world in the face of a new reality.
★★★★
The stories are frightening and funny in equal measure, careering from realism into a stylised and surreal world of black comedy, gothic horror and fantasy
The Guardian
★★★★
Imaginative visuals, absurd experiences and dark humour
