CONCRETE WHISPER is rooted in the 1920 surrealist game "Exquisite Corpse", adapted into a modernized chat group format. The legend of the Basilisk is a thematic thread in the film as it playfully delves into the creation of urban myths. The narrative unfolds as stories evolve freely and unpredictably through retellings from person to person.
