Sometimes, when things aren’t going quite right in a relationship, a vacation or weekend away feels like the best method to reset and reconnect with your partner. Nothing better than getting away from work and other distractions, right? Well, in writer and director Justin Geldzahler’s directorial debut Glue Trap, that couldn’t be further from the truth. What starts as an argument about a dead mouse quickly devolves into a nightmare for the film’s central couple who are just trying to fall back in love.
Read the full synopsis below:
KJ and Dan are struggling to communicate. A few years into a strained relationship, the couple takes a weekend trip to a friend’s cabin to recapture their romance… only to find a dying-but-not-quite-dead mouse stuck to a glue trap. They disagree about how to handle, KJ advocating for a swift death while Dan proposes making the mouse’s last moments as pleasant as possible. The couple compromises and moves on, slowly finding their way back to each other in this idyllic setting.
Unfortunately, their serenity is broken by the arrival of a small woman who can be charitably described as “eccentric”. She’s their host’s younger sister and had no idea anyone was staying at the family cabin. No problem if she crashes, right? As the couple struggles to juggle this interloper on top of their already tense dynamic, KJ and Dan begin to worry this obnoxious third wheel may threaten more than their relationship…
