MysteryDrama

In an empty villa, Vera Baxter sits and contemplates her life, as she recounts to a woman who was drawn to the villa when she heard the name Vera Baxter pronounced. Vera tells her about her no-good husband, who has been using her to keep his failing business afloat, up to her present love affair.

VIBE

A hauntingly introspective mood piece. It feels like drifting through fragmented memories and unspoken regrets, wrapped in a dreamlike, disorienting atmosphere. A film that lingers long after the credits roll.
