Description

On a remote island, a father has created a sanctuary for his wife and three daughters, shielding them from the perceived dangers of the outside world through strict rituals and therapies. This isolated existence is shattered when the father vanishes and two strangers, along with a boy, arrive on their shores. As a sweltering week unfolds, the sisters' carefully constructed reality begins to crumble, revealing simmering tensions and a dangerous game of manipulation. This haunting debut explores themes of female agency, the corrupting influence of power, and the complex dynamics of sisterhood in a world grappling with toxicity.
