Synopsis

A genre-defying Cambodian thriller.

After her mother dies, the Japanese-Cambodian manga artist Sorya travels to Cambodia to learn about the country that her mother fled. She reunites with lost family and moves into her mother’s old apartment. But darkness lies beneath the surface, and what at first appears to be a warm welcome from her new family is part of a sinister ritual: the residents must prepare a new host for an evil spirit—before it starts killing them.

An innovative thriller that transcends genre, Tenement brings a supernatural and psychological twist to a story about family and identity.
