The Cup

In a surreal tableau, a man with a brewing machine for a head, discontent with the bland taste of the brew from his own body, attempts to do what he can to improve its flavour. Shot during the circuit breaker period in Singapore, The Cup is a meditation on being in the world, against the flattening out of life as we know and image it.
