Lots of creative elements to this video about a couple on the verge of a break up for Smoothboi Ezra. Directed by Arthur Studholme (previously featured here), “Stuck” follows an anxiety dream in which the protagonist imagines their partner painting themselves out of their life together. The erasure is encouraged and guided by the Flower Man — a shadowy figure who arrives uninvited, and represents the unwanted shift in the relationship as the two begin to grow apart.
