The debut from the Ark brothers, hotly anticipated since 2017, when they won a
Cinéfondation prize at Cannes for their short piece AniMal. This stirring film
demonstrates the extraordinary talent of its makers; the characters and their
story are captured with an almost scalding intensity, precisely in line with the
creed of its directors, who regard the film as “the skin in which we live”.
Only by confronting the sins committed by members of his family and the curse
which has plagued them for generations can the hero attempt to deflect the evil
spirits that threaten his mother. An innovative fantasy horror flick blending
genre elements with local folk legend.
