Rebecca Novak is a mirror of herself. Smart, ambitious, and disciplined, she has perfected the art of reflection — giving the world exactly what it wants to see. At Lhush Marketing, a secretive firm that edits celebrity lives into flawless public mythologies, Rebecca is a sharp junior associate obsessed with achieving perfection for herself and her clients. When reclusive billionaire Gemini Dillinger unexpectedly chooses her to lead the campaign for a women’s lifestyle empire built on beauty, wellness, and reinvention, Becca’s dreams finally come true. And so do her nightmares.
As her career peaks, her body becomes a haunted house: a locked room with something alive inside it. Grief from her recently deceased mother, a promising new romance, and a workplace promotion all heightens the stakes, while a grotesque clown starts appearing at the edges of her life like a warning she refuses to see.
Trapped between outward success and inward detonation, Becca can no longer maintain the facade she has so beautifully built. Her physical body becomes a reckoning, and the only way to survive is to look in the mirror and shed the woman she was taught to be.
SHED is a sensual psychological body-horror fable about trauma, grief, the female experience, and the monstrous cost of becoming whole. This is director, Mila Vilaplana's feature debut.
