Some people only learn the hard way.
Directed by Jan Komasa

A dark, psychologically tense thriller about a volatile young man trapped in a remote house with a strange family, where captivity becomes a crucible for unexpected transformation.
Tommy, a volatile 19-year-old, revels in drugs, parties and violence. After getting separated from his friends on a drunken bender, he is abducted by a shadowy figure. He wakes to find himself imprisoned in the basement of a remote Yorkshire house, inhabited by a very strange family. But what unfolds is not what he could possibly expect.
