In this taut five-minute drama, a quiet domestic routine unravels with unsettling precision. Directed by Finn Lomer and Mason Hutt, the film follows a man, played by Finn Lomer, whose carefully controlled life with his partner, portrayed by Xavi Brazil, is disrupted by the arrival of a single, seemingly innocuous object. As the couple navigates the tension that arises from this intrusion, the boundaries of trust and ownership are tested, revealing deeper fissures in their relationship. The atmosphere is one of mounting unease, blending the intimacy of a kitchen table confrontation with the psychological weight of a thriller. Without revealing its true nature, the object becomes a catalyst for unspoken resentments and hidden desires, forcing both characters to confront what they truly value. Malus Domesticated is a compact, gripping study of how the smallest elements of everyday life can hold the power to either bind or break a connection.
