A folk-horror descent into maternal paranoia and body horror, where isolation in the Finnish wilderness amplifies a mother's terrifying suspicions about her newborn.

In Finnish forest, Saga and her husband Jon embark on a new chapter as parents. But Saga's joy is overshadowed by a chilling suspicion about their newborn, unbeknownst to Jon, causing a rift as she alone grapples with the disturbing truth.
