Partial Synopsis
Three men arrive at a remote lodge in the mountains, each claiming to have reserved the same space for different personal reasons. When they discover they cannot leave, they begin to question whether they are trapped by circumstance, time, or their own unresolved pasts. A missing woman and the notebook she leaves behind reveal hidden connections among them, turning the lodge into a closed-room investigation of choice, regret, and destiny. The work blends light humor with metaphysical suspense, using music to shift between reality and imagined timelines.
