Rebecca is a young girl who, haunted by her father’s suicide, enrolls in an elite boarding school for girls.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, yet deeply unsettling exploration of adolescent desire and dread. This film wraps you in a suffocating, dreamlike atmosphere, where repressed emotions manifest as a creeping, gothic horror. It’s a slow descent into obsession and despair.
