We're haunted by what we leave behind.

DramaHorror

Senegalese immigrant Aisha lands a job as a nanny for a wealthy Manhattan couple. As she prepares for the arrival of the son she left behind in Senegal, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening to destroy the American Dream she is painstakingly piecing together.

VIBE

A hauntingly atmospheric descent into the anxieties of a mother chasing the American Dream. This film feels like a waking nightmare, blending supernatural dread with the quiet desperation of displacement. It's a chilling, introspective experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
