A WhatsApp audio message begins and, with it, the unfolding of a downward spiral. The voice of a woman sinking into an attack of hypochondria quickly opens into a complex labyrinth of fears and emotions. The Spiral is an immersion into a lonely journey, a hypnotic climb towards childhood, family and the loneliness of “home”. Does home really feel like being in one’s house?
