An atmospheric horror-drama directed, written, edited, and acted by Aria Tabatabai, this film immerses viewers in a chilling tale of isolation and psychological unraveling. The story follows a lonely alcoholic painter who retreats to a secluded house in the woods, seeking to reignite his creative passion by completing an unfinished piece. However, as he grapples with his past, his grief and unresolved trauma begin to shadow him. The seemingly tranquil home in the forest, far from offering solace, becomes a sinister and oppressive force, with intentions that quickly spiral into something far darker than he anticipated. This compelling narrative, combined with a haunting atmosphere, delves into the complexities of grief, addiction, and the struggle to escape one's inner demons.
