Part 2/9:
The film begins with seven-year-old Evan, raised by his single mother Andrea, while his father is confined in a mental institution. Early in the story, a disturbing drawing Evan creates sets off alarm bells, revealing the unsettling nature of his subconscious. The school teacher and his worried mother take him to a doctor, who proposes journaling as a means for Evan to better understand his experiences and memories.
Journal writing becomes a central theme, as we see Evan document his life, which soon spirals into unsettling blackouts during traumatic events. One particularly harrowing scene involves Evan and Kaylee, his friend, being exposed to inappropriate behavior from an adult, leading to an emotional blackout that leaves Evan with fragmented memories.
