Overview
Elisabeth and her brother Paul live isolated from much of the world after Paul is injured in a snowball fight. As a coping mechanism, the two conjure up a hermetic dream of their own making. Their relationship, however, isn't exactly wholesome. Jealousy and a malevolent undercurrent intrude on their fantasy when Elisabeth invites the strange Agathe to stay with them -- and Paul is immediately attracted to her.

A Cocteau fever dream of isolation and forbidden desire, where two siblings trapped in their own invented world are fractured by the arrival of an outsider. Formally exquisite but deeply unsettling, it moves like a nightmare made of atmosphere and yearning.
