Glorious (2022) Synopsis

Sometimes, all it takes is a second to change your life or mess things up. And following a messy break-up, Wes--a heartbroken, down-on-his-luck loser--is now in a bad place. So, wracked with grief and self-loathing, despondent Wes pulls over at a rural rest stop, polishes off a bottle of cheap whiskey, and wakes up hungover the next morning. But as the defeated man enters the bathroom to worship the porcelain god, a moment of confusion locks Wes inside the squalid public toilet. And then, as if suffering from a long streak of bad luck weren't enough, a genial, deep-voiced stranger from the elaborately decorated adjacent stall strikes up a conversation, genuinely concerned about Wes. However, as Wes indulges his neighbour's curiosity, a sinister undercurrent of pent-up stress ratchets up the tension. But Wes only wants his girl back. Who cares what the insistent "friend" wants from him?—Nick Riganas
