His unexpected arrival disrupts the tranquil rhythm of her solitary existence, casting a shadow of uncertainty upon her carefully guarded world.

In an attempt to assert control over her enigmatic guest, the woman's fantasies of power and dominance spiral into a realm of absurdity. Overstaying is a profound and unsettling exploration of the complexities of hospitality, integration, and the enigmatic stranger that resides within each of us.
