Across a series of everyday settings - a bus stop late at night, a locker room after a match, an online gaming session, an open-plan office - we witness subtle but recognisable moments of harassment and boundary-crossing behaviour directed towards women. Nothing heightened. Nothing dramatised beyond reality. Just the familiar discomfort of something not quite right.
