Somewhere in Europe, mid-20th century. Albert is employed to look after Mia, a girl with teeth of ice. Mia never leaves their apartment, where the shutters are always closed. The telephone rings regularly and the Master enquires after Mia's wellbeing. Until the day Albert is instructed that he must prepare the child to leave.

VIBE

A suffocating, dreamlike descent into a meticulously crafted, unsettling world. It feels like a half-remembered nightmare, where oppressive quiet is broken by chilling revelations. The atmosphere is thick with dread and a profound sense of isolation.
