The story follows Julia as she returns to her childhood home after the death of her father. This return is not a peaceful homecoming; instead, the physical space of the house acts as a catalyst for suppressed memories. Julia was sexually abused by her father during her childhood, and inhabiting the place where these events occurred forces her to confront "ghosts" and "demons" that begin to bleed into her present reality in terrifyingly vivid ways. Cast and Production

The film's plot is both intimate and unsettling. After a long absence, Julia (Natalia D'Alena) returns to the countryside house where she grew up. The house is not just a property but a repository of painful memories, as it was the site of her sexual abuse at the hands of her father. She arrives with her girlfriend, Ana (Daryna Butryk), intending to sell the house and move on with her life.

The 2019 iteration of this story leans heavily into psychological horror rather than jump scares. It utilizes the "unreliable narrator" trope to great effect. Is Julia being haunted by a literal ghost, or is the specter a manifestation of her own guilt? The film asks the audience to distinguish between the monsters outside the window and the monsters under the bed—or within the mirror.

    I think that Burma may hold the distinction of “most massive overhaul in driving infrastructure” thanks, some surmise, to some astrologic advice (move to the right) given to the dictator in control in 1970. I’m sure it was not nearly as orderly as Sweden – there are still public buses imported from Japan that dump passengers out into the drive lanes.

    Used Japanese cars built to drive on the Left side of the road, are shipped to Bolivia where they go through the steering-wheel switch to hide among the cars built for Right hand-side driving.

    These cars have the nickname “chutos” which means “cheap” or “of bad quality”. They’re popular mainly for their price point vs. a new car and are often used as Taxis. You may recognize a “chuto” next time you take a taxi in La Paz and sit next to the driver, where you may find a rare panel without a glove comparment… now THAT’S a chuto “chuto” ;-)

    Did the switch take place at 4:30 in the morning? Really? The picture from Kungsgatan lets me think that must have been in the afternoon.

    Many of the assertions in this piece seem to likely to be from single sources and at best only part of the picture. Sweden’s car manufacturers made cars to be driven on the right, while the country drove on the left. Really? In the UK Volvos and Saabs – Swedish makes – have been very common for a very long time, well before 1967. Is it not possible that they were made both right and left hand drive? Like, well, just about every car model mass produced in Europe and Japan, ever. Sweden changed because of all the car accidents Swedish drivers had when driving overseas. Really? So there’s a terrible accident rate amongst Brits driving in Europe and amongst lorries driven by Europeans in the UK? Really? Have you ever driven a car on the “wrong” side of the road? (Actually gave you ever been outside of the USA might be a better question). It really ain’t that hard. Hmmm. Dubious and a bit weak.
