Inspired by the story of the same name by Polish writer Bruno Schulz, the twin directors, animators, and set designers Stephen and Timothy Quay return to the big screen with a highly anticipated live-action film set in the physical and mental labyrinth of a decaying nursing home in Galicia. The film follows the story of Jozef, who, upon arriving at the bedside of his elderly father, finds himself trapped in the unsettling and suspended reality of the sanatorium, where time and space merge, creating an endless nightmare from which there is no awakening.
