Synopsis

A girls’ weekend trip to a remote cottage takes an ugly twist when one of them goes missing. Trapped by heavy snow with no phone signal, the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister as the girls’ friendship is put to the test.

Program Note

The four teenage girls’ friendship trip to the villa in the forest turns into a trip of distrust and fear toward each other. While taking the genre of teen villa thriller, It is a disturbing growing pain film about fear, dependence, jealousy and schizophrenia surrounding the relationship between female friends. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
