Some time ago, Marta and Jaime, a young childless couple, exchanged the hustle and bustle of the city for the tranquility of the countryside. It was within this apparent tranquility that one day, a neighbor, having to go to Lisbon, asked them to temporarily look after his daughter Beatriz. Amid the chirping of birds and the gentle flow of the stream, the tranquility they had grown accustomed to was suddenly shattered by the nocturnal appearance of a strange animal. Unsure if the child's presence is somehow related to a series of bizarre occurrences, the couple must question past, present, and future as they venture into a dangerous game of shadows that reveals itself to be as real as it is terrifying. After several forays into the short film format, Portuguese filmmaker Jorge Cramez ("The Golden Helmet") finally debuts a horror feature, returning to the love dilemma, this time under the guise of folk horror, in a film that promises a disturbing immersion into the dark metamorphosis of bucolic Portuguese life.
