Don't Move

In a hushed, pine‑laden wilderness where mist clings to the underbrush and the silence feels almost palpable, a remote cabin‑like refuge stands far from any bustling road. The forest itself becomes a character, its towering trees and echoing ravens setting a tone that is simultaneously beautiful and foreboding, hinting at hidden dangers lurking just beyond the line of sight.

Iris arrives at this isolated spot carrying the weight of an unimaginable loss. Her grief is a palpable presence, the sort that makes the world tilt and the future seem impossible to grasp. Drawn to the very place where her son’s life was cruelly taken, she is a mother whose sorrow has turned the ordinary into a landscape of shadows, and whose every breath feels caught between despair and a faint, stubborn hope.

At the edge of this desolate setting, she encounters a stranger—Richard—whose calm demeanor masks an unsettling intent. Their brief exchange offers a momentary glimmer of connection before the atmosphere shifts, suggesting that the forest’s quiet can quickly turn into a trap. A single, unseen injection sets the stage for a race against time, as a paralyzing agent begins to take hold. The film’s mood tightens, blending the stark horror of bodily betrayal with the relentless pulse of survival, all played out against the relentless backdrop of the woods.

What follows is a study in resilience: a grieving woman forced to confront both internal and external forces that threaten to render her powerless. The tone remains tense yet intimate, inviting the audience to feel every tremor of her diminishing strength and the surge of will that refuses to be extinguished. In this struggle, the forest becomes both a cage and a crucible, shaping a story about the raw tenacity of the human spirit when faced with darkness that threatens to freeze every movement, yet can’t mute the fire inside.
