“Laundry Room & Eggs” is a surreal short film exploring identity and the search for meaning through the intertwining of reality and fantasy.
The story contrasts a mechanical, emotionless laundromat with a lively, whimsical kitchen and an unpredictable forest, symbolizing the tension between societal conformity and individual freedom. As reality begins to unravel, a doll—caught between curiosity and fear—witnesses objects transform unpredictably, questioning the very nature of meaning and truth. Carrying a basket of “eggs,” fragile symbols of unstable meaning, the doll steps toward the real world. In the end, the human and the doll quietly exchange identities, suggesting the absurdity of existence, the cyclical flow of identity, and the endless human endeavor to assign meaning to the world.
