Project Synopsis
After a co-worker leaves to travel the world and her bestfriend muses about being a mother, a woman is confronted with her lack of identity. She decides to try figuring it out through exploring the possibilites online. She buys new clothes, makeup, home decor, and even skincare. Thinking that it will help her feel like her best version of herself. This leads to her buying a strange soap and supplement care package sold to her by an influencer. Named “Mr. Sudsman” the product promises to make her life a dream. She starts to feel more confident and has clearer skin, until the side effects start to kick in. Progressively strange dreams and irritability start to develop. Convinced she needs to keep going with it, she becomes more dependent on the supplements which strip her of her sense of reality. Until one night, the soap begins to burn her skin, falling away into sudsy chunks. Still believing it’s a nightmare, she takes more supplements and attempts to wash the suds away. But it’s too late when the soap disintegrates her body as the supplements disintegrate her mind. Stripped of everything that makes her human, two people from the Mr. Sudsman company come in to collect her body.

The Woman is a blank slate in every sense of the word. It’s not because she necessarily feels safe or confident being that way. Instead, she’s just never genuinely tried being anything else. She got her job through a personal connection right out of high school so she never went to college. When she realizes that she doesn’t know who she is or what she wants, the only way she can think to figure it out, is by consuming whatever is being touted to her.
