The premise

30-year-old factory worker Simon lives a solitary existence on a decrepit farm in the remote French countryside. Devoting his time to caring for his sister Estelle, who was left severely disabled when a childhood game went horribly wrong, Simon is plagued by guilt and depression. But he sees a way out, looking to otherworldly forces as a means of liberating both himself and his sister from the corporeal prisons in which they are confined.

Horror Vault's take

In the desolate French countryside, a solitary factory worker shoulders a crushing burden of guilt over his disabled sister, their shared life confined to a crumbling farm at the edge of the world. As despair closes in, Simon turns his gaze skyward — toward forces far beyond human understanding — seeking a liberation that the physical world cannot offer. This slow-burn French arthouse horror blurs the line between the cosmic and the deeply personal, wrapping profound grief in an unsettling, otherworldly shell. It is not a film for those seeking easy answers or easy exits.
