Plot

Andrea, in search of her biological family, feels stalked by an invisible threat. Other women before them have suffered the same fate. Twenty years earlier, on the other side of the world, Camille, fascinated by Marie, tries to warn her of a threat hanging over her.

Andrea lives a sequestered life in Madrid until a horrific video call murder forces her to confront her fractured lineage. Her investigation into her birth mother Marie reveals a pattern of phantom stalking that connects the present to a tragic series of events in Argentina decades prior. While Andrea struggles to prove the reality of the entity to a skeptical world, Camila unknowingly documents the same malevolent presence during her own doomed project in 1998. The narrative converges on a singular, echoing architectural site where the past and present collapse, trapping these women in a cycle of wailing and violence that refuses to remain buried.
