Buzzheart follows shy 19-year-old Argyris, who finds himself unexpectedly dating Mary—a beautiful and enigmatic young woman seemingly out of his league. When she invites him to her parents’ secluded country home, what begins as an awkward romantic getaway quickly spirals into something far more disturbing. Claiming to protect their fragile daughter, Mary’s parents subject Argyris to a series of increasingly bizarre and brutal tests to prove his worth.
As the weekend unfolds, the family’s deeply dysfunctional dynamics come into focus, trapping Argyris in a twisted psychological game of survival—one where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted.
Buzzheart is available from May 19th on Digital and VOD.
