The production design was conceived to transform the domestic space into a territory of latent threat. The interiors are, in a way, emptied out, privileging worn materials, an autumnal palette, and minimal décor. Rather than illustrative realism, the proposal seeks an emotional realism. The space functions as a psychological extension of the characters, sustaining tension even in moments of silence.
