Mexico City, mid-90s. Five young siblings are abandoned at their grandmother’s door after their parents vanish without a trace. Forced to fend for themselves, the boundaries of reality begin to fracture—and something far more sinister seeps in. The grandmother, tormented by chilling visions and a growing dread, grows cold and detached. As the children’s hold on what’s real slips, a violent confrontation with neighbors drives them deeper into seclusion, sealing them off from the world outside.
