Five friends embark on a road trip to explore the caves of Gomeda valley, unaware that the shafts still echo past tortures. As they draw nearer, dreams morph into nightmares, then hallucinations that become reality, blurring the line between the real and the surreal. The valley transforms into a womb‑like space while the caves take on the symbolism of an umbilical cord, evoking a mother’s guilt and regret.
