In this taut 18-minute Serbian drama directed by Katarina Radmilovi?, a simple, mundane action becomes the catalyst for...
A woman awakens in a cryogenic pod with no memory of who she is or how she got there, facing a terrifying race against time as her life-sustaining oxygen rapidly depletes. Guided only by an insistent artificial intelligence named MILO, voiced by Mathieu Amalric, she must piece together her fractured identity, portrayed with gripping intensity by Mélanie Laurent. As she navigates the pod’s limited systems and makes desperate contact with the outside world, including a man played by Malik Zidi, every discovery raises more harrowing questions about her past and the mysterious circumstances of her confinement. Directed by Alexandre Aja from a script by Christie LeBlanc, this claustrophobic sci-fi thriller masterfully builds tension within the ultimate confined space, blending psychological drama with a relentless fight for survival. The film immerses viewers in a chilling puzzle where every breath counts and the truth may be more shocking than the impending suffocation.
