A nightmarish descent into marital dissolution and cosmic horror, where psychological breakdown and supernatural possession blur into an increasingly grotesque and incomprehensible nightmare.

A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.
