Evading the police, Issa and her brother Tomas seek shelter in a secluded orphanage in the forest. But the siblings' safe haven soon reveals itself to be a hellscape controlled by a sacrificial cult in thrall to a fearsome nocturnal deity.

Having killed her father, Issa flees with her little brother Tomas into the woods, where they find refuge in an isolated orphanage run by a group of nuns. Here, Issa tries to lay low while hoping to find a foster home for Tomas. The hospitality proves short-lived and Tomas is soon bullied by the other boys while the nuns engage in increasingly sinister, punitive rituals. The siblings attempt to escape and uncover the blood-curdling truth about the orphanage.—International Film Festival Rotterdam
