This 2023 short film was presented by Alter in 2024.

Two young women from the U.S. are on a trip to Poland, looking for something amazing to revive their declining social media careers. They go to an abandoned mansion that is supposedly haunted. The film is framed by one of them talking with a man in a room about what had happened to the herself and her partner. I don't want to spoil anything about it, but the man- presumably a police detective- believes the woman may have been hallucinating due to her taking anti-depressants. Which is ridiculous, of course. But what she saw, and what ultimately happened, was pretty horrifying. And I don't know what else to say, except that it's a nicely atmospheric ghost story.
