Anastasia, a successful actor, moves to her "safe place" at an abandoned farm, to face her fears and deal with her problems. All while her mental state is questionable.
As an abused child, Anastasia would close her eyes and picture sitting in the middle of a field. Following a breakdown, she rents an abandoned farm as a haven of peace, hoping isolation will help her tackle her demons. Anastasia's mother, Susan, appears at the farm many times during Anna's stay. Their relationship is a struggle as a mysterious decision from the past hangs over them. Anastasia has conversations with her mother, even when she's not 'physically' there, making her mental state questionable. Matthew, the farmer renting the property to Anna, happens to be young and attractive. There's chemistry between them, but Anastasia doesn't want to give in at first. And Matthew is a polite country boy- or so we think.—James Dubbeldam

As she ventures deeper into her psyche, the film delicately blurs the lines between reality and perception, prompting viewers to question what healing truly looks like when one may not fully grasp the depths of their own mind.
