The only thing worse than losing your mind... is finding it again.

DramaMysteryThriller

A mentally disturbed man takes residence in a halfway house. His mind gradually slips back into the realm created by his illness, where he replays a key part of his childhood.

VIBE

This is a deeply unsettling, melancholic slow-burn that plunges into the fractured psyche of a man haunted by his past. It's a tense, claustrophobic journey through unreliable memories, painting a bleak portrait of trauma and mental illness with stark, psychological realism.
