SYNOPSIS
After the mysterious disappearance of their baby daughter, a young couple receives strange videos and realises someone has been filming their daily life — even in their most intimate moments. The police set up surveillance around their home to catch the voyeur but the family starts to crumble as secrets unravel under the scrutiny of eyes watching them from all sides.

QUOTES
“Elegant, haunted thriller about voyeurism in a time of surveillance...amid its consistently tense, paranoid thriller trappings, Yeo’s film also functions in close-up, as a bittersweet, slightly broken-hearted character study, and a paean to lost era of community and trust...”
— Variety
“Cerebral, downbeat mediation on voyeurism, exhibitionism, identity, guilt and loss — all that fun stuff — could ride a wave of critical support to niche distribution beyond Asia, especially in cinephile markets...”
— The Hollywood Reporter
“Where so many directors fall back on the clumsy and dutiful inclusion of technology in their films, Yeo succeeds at crafting an original vision, building a film that is part-man, part machine...”
— IndieWire
“Induce a kind of existential vertigo that becomes the leitmotiv of this poised, elegiac, cerebral film...”
