In a dreamlike universe, within a narrative that incorporates elements of folk legends, children’s adventure stories, and horror cinema, the film follows the encounter between a sleepwalking woman and a violent ten- year-old boy. They arrive at an isolated island, where they meet the sole inhabitant of a castle: a man who manifests multiple personalities and claims to share his body with an imaginary sister.
