Afterlife of the Party: An Exploration of Female Friendship

The Analysis of Mind
The film begins with two crowds dressed in black, either walking left or right. Suddenly, a young person dressed in orange (symbolic of curiosity) enters the frame, with a question mark visible on the back of their clothes. After surveying the crowds, the orange figure decides to follow their path briefly, before turning away – revealing a lightbulb on the front of their clothes. Proceeding forward, the orange figure notices a space full of white blocks. They initially inspect them, before starting to build a small wall.
