“A new adventure in filmmaking...”

DramaMysteryRomance

Claudia and Anna join Anna's lover, Sandro, on a boat trip to a remote volcanic island. When Anna goes missing, a search is launched. In the meantime, Sandro and Claudia become involved in a romance despite Anna's disappearance, though the relationship suffers from guilt and tension.

VIBE

An atmospheric, enigmatic journey into the void left by absence, where the search for a person morphs into an unsettling exploration of human connection and existential emptiness. It feels melancholic and visually striking, a slow-burn meditation on desire, guilt, and the elusive nature of meaning amidst stunning Mediterranean backdrops.
