The premise
Michel, a retired math teacher, has lived alone since his wife’s death and occupies his time writing an essay about the beliefs that shape daily life. One day he comes across Dora, a young homeless woman, who shows up injured on his doorstep, and puts her up until she recovers. Her presence brings something new to Michel’s life, but gradually the apartment becomes the site of mysterious happenings.
Horror Vault's take
A solitary retired teacher whose quiet days are spent wrestling with questions of belief and meaning finds his ordered world upended when a wounded young woman appears at his door. What begins as an act of simple compassion slowly gives way to unease as strange, inexplicable events begin to take root within the walls of his apartment. Director Jean-Claude Brisseau weaves a reflective, quietly unsettling atmosphere where the line between the rational and the otherworldly grows increasingly blurred. This is a cerebral, character-driven horror that rewards patience.
