2024 · 29 min · ★ 10.0 · Drama, Mystery

Other worlds lull softly around us, and sometimes if we're in the right place at the right time, they reveal themselves to us. Sleep studies, unseen felines, and strange locals weave a web over the top of Mount Washington, a sleepy hilltop neighborhood in Los Angeles. A World Softly Lulls is a foray into time and memory, through the eyes of an unlikely cat sitter.
