Your walls are watching. Your memories are lying. Your caretaker knows why.
Leon, a seriously ill man, wakes up in a strange and desolate house that bears no resemblance to his home. Stripped of everything familiar, he is confined within four walls, his only visitor an enigmatic caretaker who visits him daily. Consumed by the mysterious disappearance of his wife, Cheryl, Leon's desperation for answers intensifies. As his body weakens and mold rots around him, he sinks deeper into a fog of suspicion and paranoia. Distrustful of his caretaker and the disturbing reality that surrounds him, Leon clings to distant memories of his past life that drive him forward, fueled by an urgent need for truth and escape. Will he uncover the answers he seeks before it's too late?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Robert Gilbert based the house on his grandmother's care facility during her dementia, filming in an actual condemned building with real structural decay.
The film's release coincided with investigations into UK care home scandals, making its institutional horror uncomfortably timely. The caretaker's costume was deliberately designed to evoke NHS uniforms without using official branding.
