A mother arrives at her daughter’s apartment during a storm to confess a lie that undermines their family’s foundation, leading to an unravelling relationship between them.

 “The Spiral” centers on a mother-daughter relationship that spirals out of control following a shocking revelation. During a thunderstorm, Anna (Trinca) shows up unannounced at the student apartment of her daughter Alice (Vergano) and reveals “that their entire family history rests on a lie she told her,”according to the provided synopsis. Anna claims to have made a pact with a mysterious stranger to save Alice’s leg after an accident 20 years earlier. That pact “has triggered a domino effect causing terrible events over the years. Only Alice can help to put everything right. But at what price?,” the synopsis says.
