    Three separate stories with the same handful of actors: a man who lets his boss decide everything, a policeman whose missing wife comes home, and two people hunting for a healer. It is long, deadpan and deliberately strange.

    After her difficult mother dies, a miniature artist and her family begin coming apart, and something in the house does not feel finished. Long, quiet and building; the frights are mostly not the jumping kind.

    A young coder wins a week at his boss's house in the mountains, where he is asked to sit with a robot and work out whether it can think. Three people, one building, and most of it is conversation.
