Joe's car overheated and broke down while he was traveling on a remote mountain road with his pregnant wife. While he left briefly to find water, an accident happened to his wife. In 1985, nine years later, Joe, still unable to forget his wife, struggles with severe financial difficulties while raising their daughter, Sofia, alone. Joe gets a job as a handyman and moves into a house deep in the mountains with Sofia. There, he meets a Javanese woman and some children who exhibit strange behaviors and an ominous atmosphere. Directed by the renowned Southeast Asian director WOO Ming Jin, the film showcases his mature directing skills. The setting in 1985 is the year of the Memali Incident in Malaysia, which was triggered by political factionalism and religious conflicts. Against this historical backdrop, the film meticulously visualizes the nightmares and hallucinations experienced by Joe and Sophia. The intricately designed spaces, including the entrance to the Javanese woman's house, the mansion itself, and the well in the yard, all contribute to amplifying the psychological horror.
