Description:

In this gripping drama, a sensitive and introverted protagonist is unexpectedly thrust into a daunting personal journey after the untimely passing of his mother. His anxiety is only compounded by the surreal and nightmarish series of events he encounters as he attempts to return home. Reminiscent of Franz Kafka's enigmatic works, this movie delves deep into themes of isolation, fear, and personal growth. The protagonist's journey serves as a reflection on his own psyche, with each challenge symbolizing a dark aspect of his character that must be confronted in order to move forward. Through vivid cinematography and an evocative storyline, audiences are invited to witness the transformative power of self-discovery amidst chaos and despair.
