Embrace

• Watchlist

Iris and Michael, a successful young couple, seem to live the perfect life. Only their communication isn't working as it used to do. Iris doesn't doubt Michael's love, but at the same time feels that his unconditional caring takes away her freedom, sometimes even suffocating her. Michael's disregard towards Iris' growing longing for parenthood doesn't help either. While being on a caving trip, Michael loses his favorite watch. To prove herself to him, Iris decides to go back on her own and find it. While wandering between dark stone walls, memories creep up, flashbacks into her past which are haunted by the image of a child. A child that as soon as it appears, is taken away from her again. She tries to reach out to it, but is violently pulled back, assaulted, smothered, alone. Darkness embraces her. She screams. Her voice echoes.
