A girl from Oregon, who is running away from a hard life, drives her car into an embankment. In search of help and under shock, she walks back along the road she drove down but she is attracted in the opposite direction by a mysterious flashing glare which is followed by an unbearable noise. She is forced to retrace her steps and has no choice but to face the horrible spectacle around her car.

 

“I had a dream that I was getting rained on in the woods and laughing about it. The very next day I started writing a movie about a girl lost and getting rained on in the woods, having the worst time she’d ever had. I don’t have a grand theory or even a very strong belief that dreams have a secret meaning or code. But there is something sacred to me about the unconscious brain telling a story so crazy and abstract that it’s never quite possible to replicate or even relay verbally in a coherent way. I made this movie because I was interested in probing the unknown and there is no way to tell if I did that correctly.”
