Acerca de la película
A man and a woman are drinking in a bar at the same time, but they do not know each other. When they order the next drink, a timeless episode occurs, and they wake up in an abandoned farmhouse with a terrible hangover. She sits up in the middle of the grass and sees a mime introducing himself with a bow. Somewhat frightened, the woman tries to sit up, but the mime pulls her towards him with a nonexistent lasso. The woman manages to get up and runs away. The man reaches a chicken coop, and the smell almost makes him vomit. When he tries to leave, he sees half the mime's body greeting him. He runs like hell, finds the girl somewhere else, and sees the mime greeting them through the tall grass. He notices her hurt ankle and offers to help, but the mime disappears. This fills them with panic, and they search for him. They hear the sound of a bottle breaking and see the mime with a bottle cap in his hand. They flee, but the mime pursues them wherever they go, trying to make them realize they should not drink and drive. The panic grows until they reach a church, where they lock themselves in. The mime tries to enter, but they stop him. They turn around and see the mime looming through the glass. They merge into a terrifying scream, seeing their bloody hands, and realize they are at the bar. They both decide not to drink anymore and cancel their order. The bartender turns around, and it is the mime smiling beatifically.
