SYNOPSIS:

After the mysterious disappearance of their baby daughter, a married couple begins to receive strange videos of their daily life. 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.

In the age of TikTok and YouTube, we’ve become used to looking at others through our screens, but we seldom think about what it feels like to be constantly seen. Yeo Siew Hua explores scopophilia in an age of constant surveillance with this Golden Horse-nominated thriller about paranoia and fetishism.
