This has Lynch and Hitchcock vibes.
This is mostly a about a man driving while trying to do something about a massive crisis in his life.
He does something heinous, but understandable, and we/he left to pick up the pieces.
There's something so interesting about this and modern life. People say "you never know what's going on in someone's life", but in this case his daughter is missing but still the people he works with are complaining about a task he should've done two days ago. As a viewer that's obviously a distraction.
However the most interesting thing is how the protagonist can't be trusted, but I believe the picture was real.
But was the associate real, or was that something he invented as a coping mechanism to justify what he did to save his daughter?
