Cut off from the outside world, she is left with no choice but to confront emotions and memories she cannot fully understand herself. As the boundaries between reality, memory, and imagination begin to dissolve, the enigmatic figure of Camila (?) emerges as a guide through Clarice’s inner descent, while the unsettling presence of a supposed neighbor slowly turns the apartment into a space of growing unease.
