The story follows Nina, who travels with her husband Hasan and their children to visit her ailing mother-in-law in a remote village. At first, it seems like a simple family duty, but their arrival stirs up a dark atmosphere within the old house. Nina soon notices strange occurrences — whispers, shadows, and unsettling behavior from her mother-in-law, who appears to be keeping secrets.
As Nina digs deeper, she discovers that the family is haunted not only by supernatural forces but also by long-buried truths that Hasan has hidden from her. The line between madness, grief, and the paranormal begins to blur, leading to terrifying revelations that could destroy them all.
The film blends supernatural horror with themes of family conflict, guilt, and the haunting power of the past, creating a tense and emotional atmosphere that slowly unravels into terror.
