***Commendations***
On a stormy night in London, ADRIANA - a rebellious Brazilian delivery rider - grinds through her shift, hustling meal after meal across a city that barely sees her. When a final order leads her to a grand, but eerie mansion in a wealthy neighbourhood, she's met by a pale, skeletal man in a wheelchair. Frail and soft-spoken, he asks her to help by bringing the food inside.
Against her better instincts, Adriana crosses the threshold. But once inside, things shift. The man rises - suddenly strong, his eyes filled with hunger for something far more intimate than a meal. "I'm sorry," he whispers, "but I need to feed." What follows is a claustrophobic game of predator and prey as Adriana is hunted through the shadowy mansion. This is more than a fight for survival. It's a battle for visibility, dignity, and the right to exist in a system that feeds on the vulnerable. Trapped in a mansion that becomes a nightmarish reflection of the world outside, Adriana must channel her rage - and her will to live - into something raw and unrelenting.
