Handsome 25-year-old Cesar had it all -- a successful career, expensive cars, a swank bachelor's pad, and an endless string of beautiful and willing women -- until he is thrown into a strange psychological mystery after a car accident scars his face and lands him in prison.

VIBE

This is an unsettling, melancholic slow-burn that plunges you into a disorienting psychological spiral. It explores fractured identity and the blurring lines of reality with a dreamlike, existential sci-fi style. A tense, thought-provoking experience best suited for a late-night solo watch, leaving you questioning perception long after it ends.
