Relative Control

Mark answers a call from his mother announcing she's coming for a week-long visit. He just moved into a new apartment, boxes still unpacked, but the real issue is he never told his parents he quit his corporate job to write scripts for adult animated series. His desperate attempt to fabricate a successful life in seven days spirals into an absurd farce, with each sunrise bringing a new ridiculous complication. This 2025 comedy-drama explores the limits of the lies we're willing to uphold for familial approval. Mark hires a friend to pose as a colleague, rents a luxury car, and even tries to book a fake 'office' for video calls, but as the web of deceit grows more tangled, it becomes painfully clear that the truth must surface.
