Matchbox

Some habits burn longer than you think... Just one more light.

Matchbox — Plot

Matchbox follows John, a young white-collar worker trapped in a cycle of exhaustion, pressure, and quiet dread as he struggles through a late night of unfinished work. Seeking relief from the relentless glow of deadlines and expectations, he turns to a familiar coping ritual, only to find that the small escape he relies on begins to unravel the world around him. As the night darkens, ordinary spaces feel unfamiliar, time seems to slip, and what once offered comfort starts to demand attention in return.
