Thriller

When young Tommi goes missing during a festival in the Dolomites in 2010, his parents are devastated. Five years later, a boy is found with no name or records; DNA tests prove it is Tommi. But while Tommi's father Manuel welcomes him back with open arms, his mother Linda is not convinced that it is her son. Suspicion and superstition permeate the pores of this eerie mystery thriller.

VIBE

This film feels like a creeping dread, a suffocating mystery set against a stark, beautiful landscape. It's a slow, unsettling descent into suspicion and the lingering pain of the unknown, where the familiar becomes terrifyingly alien.
