Synopsis
Compression
Hazel (Emily Jean Durchholz) is an intense agoraphobe who runs a true crime podcast about cases involving missing women. When her ill-planned staycation goes awry in the middle of a particularly rough drug trip that spawns nightmare fuel, she's forced to face her fears, confront her trauma, and take the not-so-metaphorical steps towards feeling alive again in this surreal horror-drama.
The Devil's Backbone
Spain, 1939. In the last days of the Spanish Civil War, the young Carlos arrives at the Santa Lucía orphanage, where he will make friends and enemies as he follows the quiet footsteps of a mysterious presence eager for revenge.
