Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Genius Loci is a 2020 animated short film (12 minutes) from France, directed by Adrien Merigeau.A young black woman, Reine, shares an apartment in a rather run-down urban area with her sister Mouna and Mouna's baby son. Reine complains to Mouna about "your son" creeping into her room. Mouna says that she wants Reine to make dinner and eat with them. Mouna exits, Reine walks over to the dinner table...and things get weird indeed, as the throw rug turns into a trampoline and the glass of water Reine knocks over somehow floods the whole kitchen. Things get stranger and stranger after that, as Reine leaves the apartment and goes on a weird hallucinogenic journey, one in which shapes morph and shift around her, people change form unpredictably, and reality itself seems to be left behind completely.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anthropomorphic Food: Briefly, as part of the bizarre hallucinations or visions or whatever that Reine is experiencing. An abandoned fast-food box on the ground opens by itself. Inside, there are shapes that look like potatoes...except that they have eyes, and arms, and they are playing instruments as a jazz combo. Then the box closes itself up.

Ambiguously Gay: It's strongly suggested that Reine and Rosie, the woman she meets in the church, were lovers. Rosie says that it's been a while and that when Reine left she took one of Rosie's sweaters. Reine says that she wants to spend time with her, and Rosie touches Reine's forearm. It's also noteworthy that the imagery which had gotten very very crazy snaps back to something more like reality, as Rosie and Reine have a normal, coherent conversation...until Rosie turns into a tree. That happens right after Rosie says she doing something "with my Polish friend", a statement which seems to disturb Reine and hints at a Love Triangle.
