Storyline
At their local laundromat, a young man and his grandmother try to find out where all the 'missing socks go': two go in, one comes out. Naturally, this curiosity leads them to travel through a laundry machine portal to the Land of Missing Socks. Once they have completed their journey, it is time to return home (the dryer cycle is ending) until they realize the young man's grandmother has not been chosen to return as well: two go in, one comes out. This dramatic comedy brings the laughs as it tugs on the heartstrings, exploring the themes of love, loss, and fragility of life.

Description MARV [Male Identifying, Open Ethnicity, 45-60] Middle-aged laundromat manager with a deadpan demeanour who's seen it all - from sock-related fights to portal-seeking customers. Despite his position of authority, he's surprisingly amenable to letting customers explore his establishment. | ||
