Placeholder
2026, English. Directed by Jesse McLean.
Amid a pandemic and a failing marriage, a woman retreats into obsessive fantasy. A film star becomes her companion as the boundaries between reality and reverie blur. Lost in a frozen Antarctic landscape inspired by Frank Hurley's 1914 Endurance expedition photographs, escapism becomes a path back, a mirror revealing how far she's drifted from herself, and a space where she can begin to heal.
