Plot

Painter Lorenzo's life spirals out of control as he fears his wife is trying to isolate him from their infant son.

Sinekatalog’s take

A paranoid psychological thriller about an artist who becomes convinced his own household is closing in on him. The tension rests on doubt: is he perceptive or unraveling? It is moody and uneven, but it will suit viewers who like domestic unease more than twists.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
