A visually stunning folk-horror nightmare that uses a remote Swedish cult and hallucinogenic dread to explore grief, paranoia, and the dissolution of a toxic relationship.

Several friends travel to Sweden to study as anthropologists a summer festival that is held every ninety years in the remote hometown of one of them. What begins as a dream vacation in a place where the sun never sets, gradually turns into a dark nightmare as the mysterious inhabitants invite them to participate in their disturbing festive activities.
