Description

The family of four arrives at a mysterious house situated between the ocean and the forest, sensing an unnamed crisis. Their initial temporary stay becomes an extended period of uncertainty. After an accident leaves the Son bedridden, the family engages in a ritual of storytelling, focusing on the ocean and the memories tied to it. These stories seem to induce forgetfulness, further complicating their situation. As the Daughter experiences recurring nightmares, she begins to suspect that her fragmented childhood memories are linked to the house and a girl in a green dress. The narrative shifts as she discovers deeper connections between her past and the stories being told. In the middle of the film, the family confronts the effects of the stories on their memories, leading to revelations that blur the lines between reality and fiction.
