LUNGS is a short film that follows a member of a dance group who suffers from frequent sleep paralysis. With an upcoming performance, she's pressured to take an under-the-counter sleep aid in order to combat her fatigue and avoid the monster she often sees at night. Instead, it allows the monster to follow her beyond dreams, leading to a nightmarish cat-and-mouse chase that blends horror and dance.
