Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Vincent has recently become a father and is preparing the house for his newborn daughter's homecoming. His joy and excitement, however, turn into something darker when one of his neighbours (a sad, drunken man whose own children have recently thrown him out of the house) suggests a sordid future for both Vincent and his child. Something inside him snaps and he embarks on a psychotic mission of 'close cleansing'.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
