Absolutely loved it! The story kept me engaged from start to finish, and the visuals were breathtaking. One of the best I've seen this year.

While the film has its moments, it falls short in some areas. The pacing is uneven, but the strong performances make up for it somewhat.

Movie

Iren, who went to visit her grandmother with her mother (Lal), finds her grandmother dead at home. Lal is forced to stay at the deceased mother's house with her child (Iren) for a while to host guests and clean the house. Due to the stress of the situation, Iren is unable to speak (selective mutism/temporary mutism). Lal becomes overly protective of her daughter due to her mutism. Her greatest fear is leaving more wounds with her death than she did while alive. Already afraid of leaving permanent marks, Lal cannot remove the stain left on the wooden floor where her mother died and becomes increasingly tense. In an attempt to conceal it, she covers the stain with a cabinet and tries to entertain guests this way. Meanwhile, Iren begins to hear noises coming from under the unrevealed stain. Despite Lal's efforts to protect her daughter, Iren starts to become a part of the family amid these sounds.
