Another Day in Paradise
The film opens with home video footage of Hannah giving birth to a stillborn daughter, Ava. This tragic event casts a lingering shadow over the family, comprising Hannah, her husband Jack, and their two sons, Steve and Kyle. In an attempt to heal, Jack plans a family vacation to Japan. However, escalating military tensions in the Middle East force Jack, a NATO AI operator, to remain at his post, leaving Hannah and the boys to proceed with the trip alone. Upon arriving in Japan, Hannah and her sons settle into an Airbnb in Tokyo. During an excursion to a remote mountain town, Kyle nearly drowns in a lake but is saved by a family friend, Iriko, a nurse. This incident marks the beginning of unsettling changes in Kyle's behavior. Post-accident, Kyle exhibits bizarre behaviors: an obsession with cucumbers, aggression towards his brother Steve, and episodes of vomiting green bile. Hannah attributes these changes to trauma, but Jack, monitoring the situation remotely through video calls and messages, suspects a supernatural cause. His research leads him to the legend of the Kappa, a Japanese water spirit known for possessing children. As Kyle's condition worsens, Jack enlists the help of his friend Ryan to investigate the Kappa legend further. Meanwhile, Hannah struggles with her own mental health, exacerbated by prescription drug use. In a video call Ryan spots and tries to shoot the kappa and after he fires the gun he is attacked by it.

At the end of the film Jack is on trial and the lawyer ask his two sons, Steve and Kyle if Jack is a good father, the two kids gave a positive statement about their father.
