Following a tragic family loss, Dani (Florence Pugh) joins her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friends on a trip to a rural Swedish village for a midsummer festival. What starts as an idyllic escape soon spirals into an unsettling and grotesque series of rituals, as the group becomes entangled in the dark secrets of the commune.

Bathed in bright daylight and set against an idyllic backdrop, Midsommar takes a deeply disturbing look at grief, trauma, and the lengths people will go to in the name of tradition. Aster’s trademark slow-burn tension, paired with surreal imagery and shockingly graphic sequences, creates a haunting atmosphere that feels suffocating yet oddly captivating.
