Synopsis

A couple cultivating seemingly infertile ground come across a dark seed that grows and begins to exert a strange influence on their behaviour. The latest film by Guilherme Daniel is a stunning visual experience that imagines dark organic matter taking root, not in the earth, but within the spirit of a man and a woman. His sensitive and tender horror marks the continuation of a path that has turned the director into a major name when it comes to genre cinema. This distinctly Portuguese film that ‘surprised, fascinated… and disturbed’ judges at Lisbon’s International Horror Film Festival MOTELX is not to be missed.
