See the films the platforms disagree about most →A man nicknamed Spider is released from a psychiatric institution after years of treatment and moves into a halfway house in London's bleak East End. The area triggers fragmented and disturbing memories of his childhood. He slowly pieces together his traumatic past, meticulously writing in his journal and reconstructing the events that led to a family tragedy, struggling to separate reality from his own fractured and unreliable perceptions.
