Rose Lens is a haunting exploration of the human condition that delves into the psyche of Marie, an isolated individual, as she navigates through identity and the search for love and acceptance. After finding old footage of her absent parents, Marie yearns for connection and remains unfulfilled despite her efforts to fill the void with romantic fantasies and altered personas. Marie's interactions with her concerned friend October and relationship with the elusive Cillian reveal her internal struggles. She grapples with her changing identity, her desire for parental love, and her increasing detachment from reality.
