The time of day when mystery and passion become one.

DramaMysteryThriller

American Claire wakes up blood-soaked and bruised at the end of a runway in Spain. As she tries to account for her state, she has flashbacks from the past few days. She thinks she's killed someone, but isn't sure, and now she's wandering the Spanish streets without money or a clear memory.

VIBE

A sun-drenched Spanish haze masks a descent into fragmented memory and dangerous desire. This film feels like a fever dream, where sensuality and dread intertwine under a relentless, watchful sun. It's a disorienting, atmospheric journey into the unknown.
