Treadmill | Big Short Films 2025
Treadmill by George Kimissis
In “Treadmill,” the challenging coexistence between Dimitra, a woman approaching her 50s, and her manipulative mother, Rea, reaches a breaking point when Dimitra attempts to install a treadmill in her bedroom. In her struggle to set it up, she and two male movers find there’s no space indoors, forcing them to place it on the balcony. When Rea demands its removal, what started as a simple task turns into a full-blown showdown between them.
