The Family Stain

When Mateus visits his girlfriend’s family for the first time, he’s determined to make a good impression. Something feels off. The family is distant, cold, and seem to be hiding more than just bad manners. As the evening unfolds, Mateus begins to sense that beneath the surface lies a quiet tension something unspoken, perhaps even shameful. The Family Stain is a psychological chamber drama about appearances, discomfort, and the unhealed wounds that linger in silence.
