Rating: 16+ 

After years of estrangement, Samuel returns to the countryside to take care of his ailing father — a man with whom he shares a relationship marked by silence and old wounds.What begins as a gesture of family duty gradually awakens memories he tried to bury.

In the isolated house where he spent his childhood, Samuel begins to notice strange behavior from his father and to relive sensations he cannot explain. As the days pass, disturbing events intensify — inexplicable noises, shifts in the environment, and visions that blur the line between reality and memory.

While struggling to stay sane and care for his weakened father, Samuel is forced to confront the secrets that shaped his family’s history.Each new event reveals fragments of a past he either never knew — or chose to forget.

What once seemed like a temporary visit becomes a dark descent into repressed trauma and unsettling truths. As the atmosphere grows heavier and fear takes physical form within the house, Samuel discovers that some family bonds can be far more terrifying than any external presence.
