Spring

After a heartbreak shatters his sense of self, a young man leaves the country for Italy in search of a fresh start. The trip becomes a collision of chance and desire when he meets Louise, a woman with a mysterious allure and a dangerous secret she keeps close to her chest. Set against sunlit landscapes and quiet towns, their romance unfolds with a feverish, almost mythic energy, bending genres as the couple confronts questions about love, identity, and what it means to become someone else. The story keeps what lies beneath Louise's calm surface deliberately opaque, inviting curiosity without revealing everything at once. Its pacing lingers, letting moments breathe, inviting the audience to fill in the blanks for interpretation.

Directed by Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, Spring arrived as a brisk indie feature that blends romance with horror and science fiction. The film showcases modest production values, tight performances, and a sunlit European backdrop that heightens its dreamlike mood.

Critics often highlight the film's unusual mix of tenderness and menace, admiring the way it treats body horror as a vehicle for emotional exploration. The story probes fear and desire, the pressure to change for love, and the costs of staying true to oneself, and also the ethical costs too.

Since its release, Spring has attracted a modest but loyal following among horror fans who value genre bending and atmospheric intimacy. Its creators have become known for hands on, low budget experimentation and for building a lucid world where romance and dread coexist, on social media discussions and indie festivals.
