A claustrophobic psychological drama about isolation and intrusion, where a recluse's fragile equilibrium is shattered by unexpected arrivals that blur reality and intention.

In a secluded house by the sea with the curtains shut, a screenwriter hides from the world with only his dog as company. The tranquility is abruptly broken one night by the arrival of a young woman fleeing from the authorities. Refusing to leave, she takes refuge in the house. But come dawn, another unexpected presence will change everything.
