POISON is an intimate love story about a couple reunited years after a devastating tragedy drove them apart.

As the past returns, love and pain become impossible to separate.
Rialto Reecommends_ POISON is a restrained, emotionally potent drama about the afterlife of love. In one charged meeting, years of silence, sorrow and longing rise to the surface, revealing how grief can both sever and preserve connection. Quiet, piercing and beautifully human, it is a film about what remains when love has nowhere easy to go.
