Synopsis: In the enigmatic corners of a dark English manor, 12-year-old Luisa finds herself far removed from the warmth of her Brazilian homeland.

When a governess arrives, an air of calculated elegance about her, Luisa’s suspicions ignite like a match in the dark. Veiled glances are exchanged, and words loaded with ambiguous meaning fill the silence of the manor.

As Luisa attempts to decode the enigma surrounding her, a chilling ballet of intellect unfolds within the estate’s walls. Tensions escalate, drawing viewers into a labyrinth of uncertainties. Reality and imagination blur, forming a suffocating tapestry that begs the question: what truly dwells in the shadow of the manor?
