Synopsis
An original feature film, C-H-A-I-N is a temporal eco-folk horror that fuses time travel with the catastrophe of climate change and biodiversity loss. When an elderly woman is found frozen in terror on a rural moor, her daughter is pulled into a spiral of folk memory and temporal collapse - where plants whisper secrets, time fractures, and love becomes a tether between worlds.
