The Woman in the Yard

In a remote stretch of countryside, a modest farmhouse becomes both sanctuary and prison for Ramona, a mother still nursing the physical and emotional wounds of a serious accident. The house, once filled with the echo of a shared life, now feels shuttered from the world, its silence amplified by frequent power outages and the constant rustle of wind through the fields. The atmosphere is thick with grief, yet the landscape carries a quiet, almost reverent beauty that hints at the possibility of renewal amid loss.

Living under this muted sky are Ramona’s two children: Taylor, a restless fourteen‑year‑old yearning for the freedom he once took for granted, and Annie, a six‑year‑old whose imagination still flares bright despite the darkness that surrounds them. Their daily routine is a delicate balancing act—Taylor’s teenage frustration collides with Annie’s innocent wonder, while both cling to the fragile thread of their mother’s dwindling strength. The isolation breeds a restless energy that makes even the smallest disturbances feel magnified.

One evening, a figure draped entirely in black steps into their yard, a spectral presence that seems both out of place and oddly familiar. the Woman watches from the shadows, her questions soft at first, then tinged with an unsettling certainty that hints at knowledge far beyond a simple passerby. Her arrival turns the already fragile household into a quiet pressure cooker, where every creak and whisper takes on new, ambiguous meaning.

The film unfolds with a tone that blends stark realism and unsettling myth, inviting viewers to feel the weight of a family’s sorrow while sensing an unseen force probing the edges of memory and guilt. As the days stretch into nights, the tension between protection and curiosity grows, setting the stage for a haunting journey that explores how far a mother will go to shield her children—and what she might discover about herself in the process.
