Synopsis
Kamand, a young videographer, is invited to a remote villa to film a 24-hour project. She soon realizes she is dealing with two mysterious women, Tina and Nazy, who blend reality with play.
In a hallucinatory, unhinged atmosphere, the line between performance and truth collapses, and Kamand is drawn into a game in which neither her role nor her way out is clear.
