Description:

A psychological horror short centered on a mother and her son whose already complicated relationship begins to fracture under increasingly unsettling circumstances. What starts as ordinary family conflict slowly transforms into something darker, as unexplained incidents begin creeping into their daily lives. Rather than relying on constant scares, the film creates tension through realism, natural performances, and extended moments that leave room for uncertainty. The horror comes as much from what’s left unsaid as what is shown, creating an atmosphere that grows more oppressive with every scene. Dialogue driven. Mainly improvised.
