Entrave✹
Short Film

Sacha wakes up paralyzed in a strange monastery. Pursued by the Shadow, she somehow tries to escape from this place. Because if the Shadow touches him, large painful blue spots appear on Sacha's body. 

Sleep paralysis is a parasomnia which is characterized by the fact that the subject, on the point of falling asleep or waking up but completely conscious, is unable to perform any voluntary movement or with a extreme effort. Once a movement is made, the victim regains total control of himself. This feeling of immobilization is commonly associated with auditory, sensory or visual hallucinations as well as feelings of oppression, suffocation, evil presence and imminent death. The subject, unable to articulate the sounds and warn those around him, most often experiences a feeling of anxiety and fear.

In October 2021, Entrave was shown in cinema in Paris and selectionned in United Kingdom’s festivals.
