After an absence of three years, Aitana makes a surprise return home with Gabi, her Brazilian partner, and their son. The reception from her parents is surprisingly cold. Only her wheelchair-bound brother is pleased to see her. But what affects Aitana most of all is the presence of a stranger her age sleeping in her bed, wearing her clothes, living in her house, and being treated by her parents as if she were their daughter. From that moment on, torn by jealousy, suspicion, and misunderstanding, Aitana tries to find out what is happening and who the intruder is until she discovers an unexpected and disturbing truth darker than she would ever have thought possible.

Why it matters

A tense psychological horror that twists family dynamics into a claustrophobic nightmare of identity and betrayal.

  • A slow-burning descent into paranoia anchored by a quietly intense central performance.
  • Explores themes of replacement and erasure with a modern, queer sensibility rarely seen in home-invasion horror.
  • The eerie domestic setting amplifies the uncanny, playing on real fears about loss of self and family alienation.
  • Perfect for fans of unsettling, character-driven thrillers that blur reality and psychological horror, in the vein of *The Invitation* or *Hereditary*.
