Description
In the quiet Dutch countryside of 1961, Isabel believes her life has finally settled into routine—until her brother brings home Eva, a disruptive stranger who treats the house like it belongs to her. As summer heat intensifies, Isabel’s carefully controlled discipline curdles into suspicion and obsession, especially when small things begin to vanish and the boundaries of trust start to blur. What begins as a psychological battle over space, privacy, and desire gradually reveals a deeper, unsettling legacy tied to WWII and the secrets people carry long after the fighting ends. With Yael van der Wouden’s sharp, atmospheric storytelling and a talent for turning intimacy into dread, this is a twisted exploration of obsession, complicity, and how the past can live—quietly, and dangerously—inside the walls we call home.
