An attempt to make a thriller film, gives birth to a fragmentary work that evokes this genre's atmospheres in its essence. The lack of a substantial plot and the absence of sound amplify the mystery, inducing the viewer's imagination to rebuilt the missing segments for this 'unfinished film'. As a possible result, questions emerge. Who is the killer? Who is the victim? What actually happened?
