DISCOMFORT (2026)
Desconforto
Director: Ricky Foline
Cast: Joelma Neves, Gabriela Moulaz, Aluísio Brandão, Guido Lecogue
DISCOMFORT turns the mundane into a minefield of unrelenting tension. Taking place almost entirely within the walls of a single home, the film explores the quiet, invisible violence that seeps into family bonds and intimate connections. The story follows a young woman surrounded by people who drift between tenderness and domination, affection and deceit. Subtle looks, drawn-out quiet, and muffled clashes build a choking atmosphere where fear arrives not from sudden scares or violent imagery, but from a slow unraveling of the mind. Through a stark, sensory, and stripped-down style, DISCOMFORT delivers a deeply immersive experience, relocating horror to the emotional landscape. It dives into psychological manipulation, toxic reliance, fractured identity, and the fight to endure. The film asks you to sit with a discomfort that never fades—it only grows heavier.
