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.

“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...”
— ScreenDaily
