A claustrophobic family drama about three sisters trapped in an isolated house under an abusive, apocalypse-obsessed father, exploring the psychological and emotional toll of religious extremism and paternal control.

Three sisters, Stella, Luce and Aria, live in an isolated house, immersed in the shadows, submitted by a violent and authoritarian father, a religious fanatic obsessed with the end of the world, who keeps them prisoners behind locks and closed windows, under the pretext that the Apocalypse has finally arrived.
