After a triggering comment at work and a night of spiraling between nostalgia and self-punishment, Ida is pushed to her breaking point. Guided by fleeting visions of her empowered higher self and a moment of unexpected clarity from an eccentric neighbor Jevin, she is drawn back toward the gym she's avoided for two decades. As Ida's hands hover over the blue competition floor she must choose: continue fighting the grief she's spent two decades running from or surrender her past to be reborn. Carpet Blue is a visually poetic portrait of trauma, reckoning, and the reclamation of one's own body and spirit. See less
