Synopsis

After his father's death, Paul returns to his old mud house in the remote corners of Serbia, hoping to confront his brother Jakov and find the answers that have eluded him for so long. However, as soon as he enters the house, he is overcome by an unpleasant chill - strange symbols surround him, and the entire space exudes a gloomy fear and heavy silence.

As he delves deeper into his family's past, Paul discovers a connection to Slavic mythology and an old curse that vaguely reminds him of something from the distant past, perhaps even from his childhood. The family is hiding a terrible secret - and that secret leads to a long-standing pact with the dark god Veles. As he investigates further, Paul begins to question everything he knows about himself. Each new truth leads him into a vortex of nightmare, where his family's decisions echo through generations.

MUDBRICK is a disturbing story about secrets that drag you into the past, forgotten memories, and a curse that never ends.
