What begins as an inhumane interrogation turns into hell.

During the World Cup final between Argentina and Holland, in times of military dictatorship, a group of torturers violently breaks into a home and kidnaps a group of young people to take them to a clandestine detention centre.

What begins as an inhumane interrogation turns into a true martyrdom: the wrong group of people have been kidnapped. They turn out to be part of a macabre cult guided by an unknown supernatural force.

A brutal story of violence in a police station with images that evoke the nightmares seen in films such as “Baskin” (Can Evrenol, 2015) and “Malum” (Anthony DiBlasi, 2023).
