Synopsis
An anonymous patient wakes in a stark medical clinic, hurting and disoriented. Staff insist the procedure must proceed without pain relief: suffer now or suffer more later. As oddities multiply, hopes of escape dissolve into an oppressively surreal gauntlet. A claustrophobic horror about women’s bodily autonomy, told with precision, restraint and a backroom, institutional chill that leaves a mark.
