À propos du film
After a violent argument with his partner, a man accidentally causes her death. Consumed by panic and guilt, he decides to bury the body in the backyard of his house during the night. But after a disturbing nightmare in which he sees the corpse lying once again in the basement, he wakes up with the feeling that something is terribly wrong. When he goes downstairs to check, he discovers that there really is a body waiting for him in the darkness… although it does not seem to belong to her. Trapped inside his own home, he becomes the target of a terrifying pursuit led by an impossible figure — a deformed creature that appears to be a twisted fusion of himself and the woman he just buried. Between guilt, grief, and psychological horror, the protagonist is forced to confront a terrifying question: what exactly did he bury that night… the love of his life, or the most monstrous part of himself?
