Lucía and her son live isolated from society in a flat place where there’s practically no life. The small family unit formed by mother and son hardly ever receives visitors, and their goal is to lead a quiet existence. At first they succeed, but the appearance of a mysterious, violent creature that starts stalking their small house will put the relationship that unites them to the test.

This film feels like a suffocating, primal scream. It’s a tense, atmospheric descent into isolation, where the mundane becomes terrifying and the bond between mother and son is tested by an unseen, encroaching dread. A truly unsettling experience.
