In an attempt to quiet her ghosts and suppress childhood trauma, a struggling actress seeks refuge in a remote hotel nestled deep in the mountains. Like Alice trapped in Wonderland, where shimmering colors mask thorny truths, Rose begins to witness the cruel unraveling of her grip on reality. A dreamlike exploration of the chasm between the ideal and the real, with echoes of Dario Argento and David Lynch — yet always steering clear of empty pastiche — this debut feature from Julie Pacino, daughter of legendary actor Al Pacino, deftly navigates the fertile boundary between the modern world and the psyche. In the cast, magnetic lead Lucy Fry is in excellent company, joined by Madeline Brewer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Sheryl Lee (“Twin Peaks”), and Cara Seymour (“Adaptation”).
