“A brilliantly told, complex, and surprising journey... Just when you think it's going to zig, it zags; just when you think you've got a handle on where the film is going, Nakashima grabs you by the hand and whips you around.”

Australian Premiere

Hideki and Kana are the embodiment of happiness. Recently married, the Taharas are now waiting for their first-born. When a mysterious guest at work talks to his colleague about a certain Chisa, Hideki is dumbstruck. Chisa is the name he and Kana had planned to give their daughter, a decision they had kept to themselves. What's worse, the friend who had spoken to the stranger suddenly dies under horrid circumstances. Two years later, convinced that a supernatural force is threatening his family, Hideki reaches out to Nozaki, a writer specialising in the occult, and his clairvoyant girlfriend Makoto to rid himself of the entity that is casting a shadow onhis happiness, which, as it turns out, may not be as genuine as it seems.
