Plaion Monolith

After falling from grace due to a fake story, an investigative journalist retreats to her parents' house. In her podcast "Beyond Believable," she delves into unsolved mysteries. During her investigation, she uncovers the story of a woman who claims that a mysterious black monolith has destroyed her life. In response to her podcast, people from around the world come forward, saying they too have received such a stone. Before she knows it, the journalist is on the trail of a global conspiracy.

Australian director Matt Vesely has created an astonishing sci-fi thriller that evokes memories of Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001." With its clever concept, the film, set in a single location, captivated festival audiences at SXSW and the Fantasy Filmfest Nights – the brilliant sound design and claustrophobic atmosphere continuously build tension. Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise) delivers a fantastic one-woman show that immerses the viewer deeply into the protagonist's paranoid thought process.
