Encierro follows Julia, a young Latina woman who finds herself trapped by the expectations of her family and culture. As she attempts to meet the impossible standards of being the perfect daughter and woman, the boundaries between reality and nightmare begin to blur. Confinement takes on many forms—claustrophobic spaces, oppressive conversations, and eerie, surreal encounters—all of which push Julia deeper into a terrifying psychological spiral. As she struggles to break free from these pressures, she faces unsettling truths about her own identity and autonomy. At its heart, Encierro is a haunting exploration of the cost of living within the confines of cultural expectations.Will Julia escape?
