Plot

The film is about a young woman, Pia, who receives a mysterious 45 rpm record and discovers that she can travel through time to different stages of her life when different parts of the record are played.[3][4] The film does not feature any spoken dialogue though it does incorporate the titular song "A Single Life" by Happy Camper featuring Pien Feith.[5]

According to Oprins, the film took three months to make and was originally inspired by an incident where a record skipped while being played.[1] The duration of the film was limited because the film was originally intended to be screened at movie theaters prior to the showing of feature-length films.[1]
