SYNOPSIS

The only things that give Janus hope during his time in a psychiatric clinic are letters from his old schoolfriend Amina.

 

Then one day they stop coming. The young man fears the worst and as soon as he is released sets out in search of her. Amina saved him, now he wants to do the same for her. But the more obsessively he infiltrates Amina’s life, the more Janus puts himself in jeopardy. He’s in danger of losing himself in a web of violence and paranoia. The psycho-thriller balances on the knife-edge between reality and insanity and repeatedly crosses the borders between genres.
