A refuge which soon becomes a maze of trouble.

When a traveller stumbles across an isolated house, he thinks he has found the ideal refuge, offering sanctuary from a strange wilderness. This thought quickly vanishes when he enters the house which has many signs of life but seems to be unoccupied. A radio hums within a locked room and a meal has been prepared on the dining table: a meal for two. The traveller's confusion turns to fear when a face appears in the window: a beautiful-but-distant woman dressed in red, holding a bottle of wine. A few moments later, the woman appears in the door, silent and enigmatic, gesturing for the traveller to sit at the dining table ... and the isolated house he initially considered a sanctuary quickly becomes a psychological prison where reality begins to blur and reason can no longer be trusted.
