The Seasoning House

Set during a conflict in the Balkans, this horror film follows Angel, a deaf-mute orphan held captive in a facility where young women are forced into prostitution for military personnel. Instead of being a prostitute, Angel serves as a helper to the house manager, performing tasks such as feeding and cleaning the other girls. While moving secretly through the walls and crawlspaces of the building, she observes her captors and the girls in her care. When the soldiers responsible for the murder of her family arrive at the house, Angel uses her knowledge of the building's interior to execute a brutal plan for revenge and escape.
