What The Occupant is

Caucasus Mountains. Autumn wind. A downed chopper's rotor-thrum. Abby needs money for her sister's surgery, so she signed for wilderness work, but now survival depends on cryptic radio-advice from a possibly-imaginary man named John. Starvation visions and mountain fever compound the problem. A lean, Dutch-style survival film of paranoid isolation.
