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]

gollark: That's actually beyond your comprehension, given your exposure to certain other cognitohazards in the past.
gollark: Well, it doesn't do much, it's not particularly dangerous.
gollark: Oh, you meant THAT giant cognitohazard, yes.
gollark: You don't really have it under very good surveillance, considering.
