A married schoolteacher in Flanders develops an obsessive love for one of his students. After moving away to escape his feelings, a disturbing encounter with death and an unexpected reunion begin to unravel his grip on reality.
VIBE
A hauntingly quiet film that slowly unravels the fragile psyche of a man consumed by forbidden desire and a distorted reality. It feels like a descent into a lonely, fog-laden mind where perception and truth blur into a profound, unsettling melancholy.
