synopsis

Mira’s divorce proceedings are weighing her down. She can’t focus on her work in the glasshouse of a botanical garden, and the plants are dying. Her colleague Paul suggests an esoteric therapy delivered by a witch who he swears helped fix things with his boyfriend. Feeling she has nothing to lose, Mira agrees.

The session with the witch is bizarre. Feeling scammed, Mira returns home, and tired, immediately falls asleep. Some time later a sound coming from elsewhere inside the flat wakes her up. In the dark kitchen, her ex-husband has seemingly come back to unload the dishwasher. What seems like an unexpected visit soon comes to resemble a horror…

Over the following nights, Mira continues to experience disturbing dreams featuring her ex. It is a nightmare journey through her deepest fears and sorrows ultimately offering her a chance to find a way out using her inner strength.
