The simplicity of the composition also allows the viewer to focus on the subtleties of the actors' expressions, deepening the emotional weight of each scene. The minimalistic setting, devoid of distraction, highlights the inner conflict Santiago is about to face, while the stillness of the environment contrasts with the turbulent emotions of the characters.

Father Santiago has an eerie encounter one night with a group of lost souls. Sister Carmela is the only one who knows what they are, and what they are here for. It is up to Santiago now to confront the ghosts of his horrible past.

The film is shot in high-contrast black and white, reflecting the duality of light and darkness within Santiago's soul and the stark moral choices he must face. The sharp use of shadows creates a sense of mystery and unease, while the stark lighting accentuates the cold, quiet atmosphere of the convent.

The project required crafting a lighting scheme that mimicked the submerged and mystical qualities of underwater scenes using blue and green light filters to achieve an aquatic hue.

We incorporated moving lights with wave-like effects and utilized a haze machine to soften and diffuse the light, emulating the ocean’s natural luminescence.
