Details
The story begins when Borgman, accompanied by his group of fellow vagrants, approaches a wealthy suburban neighborhood seeking shelter. After being turned away by the arrogant housewife Marina, he becomes determined to establish a presence in the family's life. In a relentless pursuit, Borgman manages to gain the trust of the disenchanted husband, Richard, and subsequently manipulates him into granting him shelter in their garden shed.
As Borgman settles into his new surroundings, he begins to exert a malevolent influence over Marina, Richard, and their three children. The family's seemingly idyllic existence gradually starts to unravel as they are taken on a psychologically disturbing and horrifying journey. Relationships are shattered, secrets are exposed, and the veneer of their privileged lives is stripped away, revealing the dark and twisted nature lurking beneath.

With its intense performances, atmospheric cinematography, and provocative storyline, this film offers a haunting and thought-provoking experience that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
