Otto

Synopsis

Otto awakes; alone and miles from the nearest settlement. Confusion turns to terror when he realises someone is shooting at him. What follows is a thrilling, nightmarish chase to outrun or outwit the unknown predator, and the understanding that what will eventually destroy us, is always that which we fear most.
