Synopsis

At a lonely driving range, a quiet young woman spends her days surrounded by golfers and the endless thud of clubs striking balls. Detached from the people around her, she begins collecting and secretly taking the range's golf balls. Her private stock grows into an unusual, carefully planned solution to her isolation. The video follows her strange routine with a deadpan, slightly surreal tone, turning an ordinary workplace into the setting for an eccentric story about loneliness, obsession and self-made companionship.
