Synopsis

The employees of a dying seaside hotel have their lives upended when their colleague, Elle, vanishes.
Instead of focusing on the police investigation or Elle’s close family, the story delves into the psychological impact on Elle’s co-workers, especially Leonard, who lives in the hotel. In stark contrast to sensationalised true crime narratives that capture media attention, this film explores the unsettling nature of such cases and the creeping dread that threatens to overwhelm Leonard.
