This unsettling and captivating story follows Hunter, a young woman who seems to lead a perfect life, with a wealthy husband and an idyllic home. However, behind that shining façade, Hunter grapples with a deep emotional void and a disconnection from her surroundings. As her daily life unfolds, she begins to experience an uncontrollable urge to swallow non-edible objects, a behavior known as pica.
With each new item she ingests, from buttons to small pieces of metal, Hunter finds a way to regain control in a life that feels suffocating. But this strange obsession not only leads her into increasingly dangerous situations but also reveals the tensions in her marriage and the dark secrets that haunt her family. The duality of her existence becomes evident as she struggles with the external pressures of being the perfect wife and the internal battles that torment her.
The film is a psychological journey that challenges the perception of normalcy, exploring themes of control, oppression, and the search for personal identity. Through meticulous direction and outstanding performances, the viewer is drawn to immerse themselves in the complexity of the human mind, all while the atmosphere grows increasingly tense and oppressive. Hunter's struggle to free herself from her inner demons becomes a mirror of the fight for independence and self-expression in a world that often silences women.
