The Weirdness that is 'Severance'
Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities.
Delivery Girl
Yao's boyfriend (29) is murdered while she's delivering an order for her Chinese restaurant. Now alone, she has to run the restaurant while dealing with the indifference of the police, the municipality, the entire city, and the deceased's parents, who want to take over the business.
While coping with grief and the mystery surrounding the crime, Yao also experiences a newfound freedom that leads her to seek a less solitary and more exciting life, trying to become increasingly involved with this new world she still has to discover.
