An Explosion of Random Energy (2024)
After another failed performance at an art competition, a shaken but fiery Jackie swears off painting for good, despite the consolation of her friend Clemens. As the pair head back to their car, they are accosted by a stranger looking to make a strong-arm robbery of their cash and cards. However, the mugger soon becomes enraptured by Jackie's painting, threatening bodily harm to get it out of her hands. Jackie, renewed with a sudden appreciation for her work, refuses his demands, leading to a stand-off where only one person has the gun.
