Oniric

A reclusive artist, haunted by vivid dreams, finds his waking reality blurring with his subconscious. As he tries to capture these ephemeral visions on canvas, he uncovers a hidden connection between his dreams and a series of unsolved disappearances in his city. The lines between imagination and reality become dangerously indistinct, forcing him to confront a truth far stranger than fiction.
