We Are What We Are

In a remote town battered by a relentless downpour, the weather itself feels like a relentless observer, draping the streets in a cold, metallic hush. The storm brings more than flooded gutters and gusting wind; it amplifies the hidden rhythms of a family that has lived on the edge of ordinary life for generations. Within the weather‑worn house at the heart of this community, the atmosphere is thick with whispered history and rituals that have been passed down like a family heirloom, casting a shadow over every creaking floorboard.

When the family’s patriarch suddenly passes away, his absence leaves a vacuum that the two sisters must fill while the rain continues its unyielding drumming. Iris, the elder, carries the weight of tradition with a stoic resolve, her gaze often fixed on the pages of an old family chronicle that hints at a past both noble and unsettling. Rose, younger and more questioning, wrestles with grief and a restless curiosity, pushing against the boundaries of the roles she has been taught to accept. Their delicate balance of duty and dissent teeters as the storm forces them to confront the very customs that have defined their lives.

Meanwhile, the town’s close‑knit community, already uneasy under the oppressive weather, begins to notice the strange patterns that surround the sisters’ household. Law enforcement and neighbors, wrapped in their own layers of suspicion, sense that something lies just below the surface of the Parker’s private world. The increasing tension is felt in every glance exchanged on the slick sidewalks, each one asking whether the secrets the sisters keep are a matter of heritage or something far more ominous.

As the rain swells and the night grows darker, the film settles into a haunting folk‑horror mood, where the line between devotion and dread blurs. The story promises a careful unraveling of family ties, a community’s quiet scrutiny, and the uneasy realization that some traditions are best left unexamined.
