In 1978 Chile, under the military dictatorship, Raúl Peralta, a lonely model maker living with his ailing mother, has his quiet routine shattered by the arrival of new neighbours engaged in sinister and suspicious activities. As Raúl tries to uncover the truth, he becomes trapped in a nightmare of paranoia and violence, where reality blurs with terror. Torn between the past and the present, he edges closer to madness, revealing brutal truths hidden within a repressed society.

A psychological thriller that delves into the dark side of human nature.
