SYNOPSIS
A girl ponders about her feelings for a BOY. As she talks, you realise her emotional journey begins to correlate with the space that she is in. Her journey to liberation is followed by the viewer in a single shot through the tunnel, where the shot alternates between GIRL to GUY in a linear space.

Throughout, GIRL and GUY converse, but they are almost in their own world respectively- they speak in different languages and they do not appear in the same shot until the end. Bell Jar refers to Sylvia Plath’s work The Bell Jar, where the GIRL perceives the BOY as insulating himself in a bell jar, unreachable by her.
