Synopsis

MOD (Turn) unfolds on a rain soaked highway where three strangers are forced to take shelter inside a deserted tea shop. Bound together by circumstance, each carries a private urgency and a secret they are desperate to protect. As the storm intensifies outside, the confined space grows charged with unease, and the fragile balance between them begins to shift. Through hesitant conversations and lingering silences, small details start to feel out of place. Trust becomes uncertain, intentions blur, and reality itself seems to bend under the weight of suspicion. What appears to be a simple pause in a journey gradually reveals itself as something far more unsettling. Tense and atmospheric, MOD (Turn) explores identity, choice, and the consequences of taking a single wrong turn, asking whether fate leads us forward or quietly traps us where we stand.
