A visually stunning but tonally fractured descent into surrealism that uses elaborate fantasy sequences to process trauma, institutional abuse, and the blurred boundary between escapism and delusion.

A young woman, institutionalized by her abusive stepfather, retreats into a vivid fantasy world where she envisions a plan to escape. Gathering a group of fellow inmates, she embarks on a quest to collect five mystical items, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
