    • Synopsis
    • After years of quiet life in the old usurped house, a family of mountaineers will see the tranquility of their home interrupted by a dark event that will trigger a series of unfortunate events.
      The daytime bat sighting is a bad omen that a new outbreak of rabies would have been unleashed in the area; a virus that attacks mammals, both domestic and wild, including men.
      When the eldest son is bitten fiercely by the meek dog that ate from his hands, they will know that nothing will ever be like before. The domestic has become wild and the territorial limits will cease to exist.
      As night falls, a sinister howling and roaring orchestra breaks loose in the woods, forcing them to shut themselves in, shutting up doors and windows. After days of confinement, the supplies are running out and each member of the family resists the situation from their own fears, manifesting atypical personality traits.
      Feeling the leadership on his shoulders, Omar tries to maintain control over himself, but his son soon manifests the symptoms of the virus. Fortunately, the grandfather manages to stabilize him with an old family medicine and the misfortune gives them a truce that will not last.
      A group of naked and rabid people appear lurking around, drooling disoriented with stimuli of violence. They are mountaineers with whom they had an old enmity.
      At night, the moon is present and these people begin to howl and roar devilishly, tearing at the walls with their claws. With the house on the verge of collapse, Omar is forced to give up his aspirations to be civilized, inciting the rest of the family to leave fear behind and free the beasts they were repressing inside.
      After a sadistic and twisted transformation, a bloody and dramatic quarrel breaks out between the two lycanthrope clans, where the family will demonstrate the power of the bond, pulling teeth and nails in their agony to survive.
