It could have been so beautiful. But with Branden by her side, even the most beautiful holiday turns into hell. She should have closed this sad chapter long ago, were it not for their daughter Kelly. But Branden will soon be the least of Val's problems, because the hotel is ground zero of a virus outbreak. The pathogen eats away at its host from the inside and the infected torture themselves from breath to breath. Val and Kelly have to get out, but doom and madness lurk outside.
The setting is limited, the mood is depressed and life is torturous. Of course, we know this from the lockdowns. Giannini's film also echoes the zombie genre. But it is rather the utter destruction of his protagonists that interests him: Unseen threats, hallucinations and struggles for survival. Accompanied by great images and a crazy sound design, this reveals a film that, garnished with the right expectations, is nothing less than an independent highlight.
