What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Ana investigates the consequences of the wormhole experiment while searching for whoever or whatever is behind her worsening circumstances.
Ana loses the ability to build new memories after the experiment, making her attempts to reconstruct events increasingly desperate.
The film is explicitly framed as a sci-fi noir take on Alice in Wonderland, replacing whimsical discovery with psychological horror and scientific uncertainty.
The wormhole experiment produces consequences that undermine Ana’s memory, self-understanding, and confidence in the reality around her.
