Synopsis

Sabina is a beautiful young woman who seemingly has it all--a supportive and loving boyfriend, a comfortable lifestyle, and a promising future. But when Sabina learns she is pregnant, a normally celebratory occasion is clouded by a succession of haunting nightmares, strange memories, and personal insecurities that send Sabina's world spiraling out of control. While shunning the affections of her boyfriend Franco, Sabina flees to America where she seeks comfort from her brother Daniele and his family. In the arms of her loved ones, Sabina uncovers truths so dark and disturbing that she begins to question her own instincts about life, love, and her future happiness, leading to an intense psychological climax that finds Sabina at a crossroads of redemption or destruction.
