Project Title: RENT

Brief Synopsis: A mysterious mansion, shrouded in mist and shadows, offers refuge to a tenant seeking peace or a new beginning. But behind the walls of the house lies a sinister secret. Every corner is covered with mirrors that not only reflect reality, but also reveal the deeply hidden sins and desires of its occupant. The owners - a strange couple with icy smiles - welcome their new tenant with the promise of privacy, but he quickly realizes that the house has a life of its own. Five mysterious rooms, hidden behind locked doors, lure him with promises of revelation and power, but each of them is a trap that confronts him with one of the deadly sins. With no way out and the lines between reality and fantasy increasingly blurred, the tenant must accept his own shortcomings in order to find a way out - if there is one at all. “RENT” is a surreal and mysterious tale of human nature, temptation, and the price of redemption, revealed through dreams and silent emotions.
