Toilet – 2026 #2

Michael Girod – Toilet – 2026 #2

Toilet tells the story of two women after the end of the world. The older one builds a toilet by stacking stones, almost like a ritual, while the younger one is drawn to her gestures and the rhythm of her work. The film explores what forms of humanity might remain after the end of the world, looking at the way someone's habits and sensations can be passed on to another person. As the film has almost no dialogue, it traces the shift from hostility to intimacy through the characters' gestures, gazes, and sound rather than through language. Sound, in particular, is an important element: it reveals emotions and changes in the relationship that the characters do not express through language, and supports the film's most delicate moments.
