The Sieve, a screenplay by Vesa Vainio

The Sieve

A confined family horror about the price of the truth

Logline: After twenty years in a psychiatric institution, a man returns to his family’s decaying mansion to uncover why he was locked away — only to discover family secrets so horrifying they threaten to destroy who he is.

Driven by shocking twists, mounting psychological terror, and bone-dry black humour, The Sieve peels away the layers of a family’s carefully constructed reality, revealing horrors that defy belief. A disturbing family horror that descends into incest, perversion, and generational depravity, where buried secrets turn a decaying mansion into a claustrophobic nightmare.
