Synopsis

Claudia, a 25-year-old woman marked by deep insecurities, rents the upper floor of an isolated house. There she meets Letizia, the owner, a charming woman with a dark past who introduces her to metaphony, a technique for communicating with the dead. What initially seems like an innocent game quickly turns into a nightmare: after discovering the terrible secrets hidden in that house, Claudia will have to fight to survive Letizia's madness, who intends to sacrifice her to supernatural entities.
