A young man and his younger siblings who have concealed the death of their mother in order to remain together are plagued by a sinister presence in their home.
Four siblings seek refuge in an old home after the death of their mother, only to discover that the house has another, more sinister, inhabitant, in this haunting directorial debut from Sergio G. Sánchez, screenwriter of The Orphanage and The Impossible.
