SYNOPSIS

A family retreats to their cottage for winter break, only to discover signs of an intruder. While the parents focus on rallying the community to replace the gatekeeper, the children wander around unsupervised, making reckless choices. When tragedy unfolds, security becomes the least of their problems, and the family is forced to bury a dark secret of the horrors committed by their 12-year-old son. “Schnicer proposes a gaze which is persistently laden with enigmas” – Micropsia Cine “At times it is as suggestive as it is intoxicating, based on a mis-en-scène that in many cases appeals to what we cannot see on screen and to multiple layers which allow us to discover – or intuit – what is happening and what could happen” – Otros Cines
