I​ In 1996, young firefighter Ana and her team were called to an old people’s home at risk of flooding during the worst storms ever to hit Rio de Janeiro. As they try to evacuate the elderly, Ana soon finds something sinister lurking beneath the surface, and the residents are not as innocent as they first seem. For the home has been built on the grounds of an ancient temple, the site of a timeless rite to an infernal god, and entangled in their insidious web, she must face her traumatic childhood complete with a maternal monster.

Screening hosted by Greg Day.
