content
After separating from her husband, Sophia moves into a new apartment with her daughter Helena. In the basement they find a closet that probably belonged to the previous tenant and that Helena would like to have in her room. When Helena loses her first baby tooth, Sophia tells her the story of the tooth fairy , not realizing that the old closet is home to the ghost of a woman who desperately wants her teeth back. In the course of the game, we learn that this woman's husband pulled her teeth and then locked her in the closet to die.
After Sophia and Helena have a car accident, the little girl behaves increasingly strangely and talks about the tooth fairy who lives in her closet. Concerned about her daughter's mental health, Sophia turns to Patrick, the doctor at the hospital, and Dr. Fabiano, who knows the history of the closet and the apartment. Both Helena and Sophia increasingly see things that make those around them believe in delusions. After a confrontation with the tooth fairy, Helena is severely traumatized and no longer speaks. Robert, Sophia's ex-husband and Helena's father, wants to take his daughter with him and leave the country with her. To achieve this, he reports to Patrick about the schizophrenia in his wife's family.
The story of the “tooth fairy”, her husband and her daughter is only unraveled bit by bit. Unfortunately too late for some of those involved.
