‘Sock Monster’ takes place in a dreamlike world of laundry rooms. A network of washing lines connects the rooms to one another. The ritual of washing and drying alternates until the human being leaves the room. Then the washing machine comes to life. One has a hidden agenda. Single socks are its object of trade.
‘Sock Monster’ is a magical film that explores the phenomenon of lost socks, a world of routines and surrealism, opposing characters and strange twists. An inherently non-narrative film that allows popular culture and imagination to merge, leaving the human out of the equation.
