Sagrada Luna

In a remote, fog-shrouded village, a series of cryptic messages begin appearing, linked to an ancient lunar legend. A disillusioned archivist, Elena, returns to her estranged hometown to investigate the disappearance of her younger brother, a case that was abruptly closed years ago. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets, long-held grudges, and a sinister truth tied to the village's peculiar traditions and the unsettling cycle of the 'Sagrada Luna'. The investigation forces her to confront her own past and the shadowy figures who seek to keep the village's dark history buried.
