About this filmv
A grieving widow and her young son are haunted by a sinister monster that emerges from a children's book. The plot serves as a metaphor for the overwhelming weight of depression and unaddressed trauma. The visual style is cold and desaturated, using a lot of gray, blue, and harsh shadows.
