Working late just before her vacation, a psychologist for couples begins to be increasingly unnerved and drawn to the strange story of a mysterious woman who comes into her office and relates a strange story to her.
Overall, there's a lot to like with this one. What really works well is the fascinating psychological character study that emerges here as she begins to get drawn deeper into her bizarre story. Her relentless drive and desire to help is understandable due to the strange story and visions she claims to have about the incidents surrounding her and her affair. It all comes to a head in the finale where the whole concept of the session becomes twisted into a grander reveal than expected which has an intriguing impact on her and her own condition being pregnant as well into a psychologically mind-bending experience that's inherently fun to see play out.
While that's quite fun and enjoyable, the idea of the short playing out merely within the confines of the singular location does become rather tired. Sitting around the room talking to each other about her past relationship and what she went through during the affair that it feels incredibly repetitive after a while that doesn't have the same impact as some of the earlier aspects of the storytelling. While the finale offers some rather unsettling imagery that helps to establish the atmospheric touch present in the final reveal that tests the boundaries of dreams and reality, it's somewhat undone by the few flaws featured here.
