Richard Curson Smith's short film is a wickedly inventive and blackly humorous adaptation of Ballard’s short story, The Enormous Space, which sees the brilliant Sher’s jilted husband suffer the most horrendously stomach-churning mental breakdown, either caused by or the cause of his decision to never again leave the safe confines of his (expanding?) home.
