And yet, after all the KonMari-ing has been completed, Rachel tears up gratefully and talks about how she's not going to let herself get lazy anymore, which feels like such a gross misreading of the underlying reasons for her distress (I'm not overwhelmed, I just haven't been trying hard enough!) that I had to shut the episode off when I first saw it.

The entire plot is intentionally (and enjoyably) convoluted, at one point trying hard to sell the movie as about a viral outbreak — but at the heart of the story is the revelation that the conservatory's director, Anton (Steven Weber), has used the school as a front for his horrific rapes of students, in a system of exploitation that has existed within his family for generations.

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongueAnd my eye through the scope down the barrel of a gunRemind me not to ever act this way againThis is you trying hard to make sure that you're seenWith a girl on your arm and your heart on your sleeve I have no idea what this song means, but I love it.

The influx of a great number of refugees, and their sudden high visibility, draws to the surface fears that we are trying hard to stifle and hide: those fears that are gestated by the premonition of our own fragilities in society, and by the continuously reaffirmed suspicion that our fate is in the hands of forces far beyond our comprehension — let alone our control.
