In this brief but potent psychological thriller, a man named Kael finds his reality unraveling after a mysterious event leaves him stranded in an abandoned apartment building. Directed by Ilia Vainzikher, the film follows Kael, played by Manoj Banjara, as he navigates the eerie, decaying corridors of a space that feels both familiar and deeply wrong. Accompanied by a cryptic stranger portrayed by Tamar Yibrah, Kael is forced to confront unsettling echoes of a past he cannot fully remember. The central conflict hinges on the elusive nature of truth and memory, as Kael pieces together fragmented clues while a palpable sense of dread builds around him. Ilia Vainzikher also stars in a supporting role, adding to the film's claustrophobic atmosphere. With a runtime of just eleven minutes, "Residual" delivers a tightly wound narrative that blends suspense with existential horror, leaving viewers questioning the boundaries between perception and reality without ever revealing its final, haunting twist.
