Rose: A Love Story

Synopsis

A young couple living alone in the woods must contend with a life-altering illness that manifests itself in a violent and terrifying way. Rose’s disease is a vampiric, parasitic thirst for blood. As her hunger grows, all humanity seems to give way to a feral violence that harms both her and those around her. The pair’s love strains under the burden of Rose’s illness, and it is only a matter of time until the secluded life that they have built is upended entirely.
