ABOUT
SYNOPSIS
Lucy, in the aftermath of a verbal argument with her abusive mother, goes about her day in high school until a mysterious, hypnotizing voice lures her into a dark cave. She is then led to a dark and peculiar figure that foretells her potential gruesome future. Lucy must decide whether to tolerate her mother’s toxic and abusive tendencies or to engage in bloodshed for a better life.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
"Whenever we are in dire and horrible situations that are outside of our control, we always resort to our imagination to escape from the madness that we live in. Sometimes our external society is not there to aid us during our dark times, which makes us have to search for the light within ourselves. This film takes a deep dive into Lucy's deep and imaginative desires of escaping her toxic and abusive relationship with her mother in the darkest ways possible."
