In Confinement, Nathalie Emmanuel plays Stella, a pregnant woman whose life is turned upside down after the death of her husband. Looking for support during one of the most difficult times in her life, Stella reaches out to her late husband’s estranged mother. Although the two have been distant for years, Stella accepts an invitation to stay at the family’s large estate, hoping to find comfort and answers.
However, things quickly take a disturbing turn. As Stella spends more time in the house, she begins to notice unusual events and uncovers long hidden family secrets. What first appears to be a place of safety slowly becomes filled with fear, suspicion and unsettling discoveries. The trailer hints that Stella must uncover the truth before the dangerous secrets surrounding the family put both her and her unborn child at risk.
The film combines psychological suspense with supernatural horror, creating an atmosphere of constant tension.
