Frontier(s)

In a Paris bruised by rising far‑right fervor, the city’s streets pulse with unease and whispered desperation. Yasmine feels the weight of a collapsing future, her pregnancy a fragile promise amid a climate that seems to push her toward a breaking point. Alongside her former lover Sami and a tight‑knit circle of friends—Alex, Tom and Farred—she teeters on the edge of a decision that could steer her away from the chaos or plunge her deeper into it. The group’s restless yearning for an escape coalesces around a risky plan, a daring gamble that promises a momentary breath of freedom but quickly spirals into a frantic flight from authorities who seem intent on tightening their grip.

The chase drives them beyond the familiar boulevards to a remote inn perched on the border, where the hospitality of Gilberte and Klaudia feels at once welcoming and unsettling. Their host, the enigmatic patriarch Goetz, watches from the shadows, his presence a reminder that sanctuary is often a veil for something far more unsettling. The inn’s rustic charm hides a labyrinthine network of underground passages, an ancient maze that whispers of forgotten histories and hidden dangers. As night drapes over the remote outpost, the atmosphere thickens with a foreboding that hints at rituals older than the city’s modern strife.

Within those dim tunnels, a primal threat lurks—creatures that feed on fear, turning the darkness into a living nightmare. The captors, whose loyalties are tangled with a twisted sense of belonging, seem to use the subterranean corridors as a rite of passage, forcing the newcomers to confront their deepest anxieties. The tone is claustrophobic and relentless, blending the gritty realism of a society in turmoil with the raw, visceral terror of a horror‑infused initiation. As Yasmine and her companions navigate this shadowed world, the line between survival and surrender blurs, leaving the promise of freedom hanging on the edge of an unseen abyss.
