WINDOW PAIN

written by Danielle Phillips

A black-comedy about an isolated female window cleaner with aspirations as high as the shard, a fixation with refraction, and an unraveling imagination

“Everyone embellishes right?”

Lotte is one of those annoyingly driven people who knows exactly what she wants to do with her life, a vocation, a calling. She's not conventionally clever, or unconventionally either- she can, however, tell you everything there is to know about that inorganic solid material with the atomic structure of a liquid - Glass.
