MESK ELLIL

Adnane Rami
Morocco / 3^rd Fiction Short

Stranded due to a flat tire, a distressed couple knocks on the door of a wary, armed old man living alone in an isolated house. Despite his fears, he lets them in, into a tense, mysterious atmosphere. Gradually, the couple settles in, sharing the household chores, while the man becomes increasingly obsessed with an unseen presence outside. Tension grows, each moment exposing the delicate balance between shelter and threat, as fear and uncertainty dominate the house in silence.
