I am yours and you are mine.

DramaMystery

A psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, investigates the savage blinding of six horses with a metal spike in a stable in Hampshire, England. The atrocity was committed by an unassuming seventeen-year-old stable boy named Alan Strang, the only son of an opinionated but inwardly-timid father and a genteel, religious mother. As Dysart exposes the truths behind the boy's demons, he finds himself face-to-face with his own.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling psychological drama that probes the dark corners of the human psyche. It's a tense, theatrical exploration of repressed desires, religious fervor, and the clash between societal norms and primal urges.
