While taking photos for a puff piece at a gym, aspiring journalist Charli witnesses a FitWatch exploding, ripping off a runner’s hand. But the gym employees don’t seem surprised. In following the money, Charli’s love life, chosen family and body become entangled in the perils of skimming the terms and conditions. This melodrama uses glitchy animation to satirise gig-economy labour.
