Horror

A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.

VIBE

A raw, unhinged descent into the abyss of a collapsing relationship, this film is a visceral, dread-soaked exploration of obsession and identity. Its feverish intensity and grotesque imagery create a suffocating, unforgettable experience that lingers long after the credits roll, a true masterclass in psychological horror.
