Submission
“He read her story. Then he became part of it.”
Drama
A well-respected professor who is a celebrated novelist and loving husband loses himself when he becomes obsessed with an ambitious and talented student.
VIBE
This film feels like a slow descent into a suffocating obsession. It's an uncomfortable, character-driven drama that explores the dark side of artistic ambition and forbidden desire with a melancholic, almost dread-soaked atmosphere.
