SYNOPSIS

In Joni Shanaj's multi-layered debut, a young man returns from his studies in the US, only to fall in love with a mysterious blonde nurse who might be his physician father's lover. Conspiracy thriller meets doomed romance, over a Hitchcockian blonde on whom its male characters project both their worst fears and desires. A brilliant study in people hurtling towards destruction.
