About the Film
SYNOPSIS
Anj returns to her family’s ancestral home as the 40th day of her estranged father’s passing draws near – the moment his soul is said to finally ascend from the earthly realm. The house has been suspended in grief and madness, and three days back is enough to remind her why she left, why she must leave at once – and why she may never escape.
