Aitana returns home for the first time in three years, excited to introduce her wife and their adopted infant son to her extended family and celebrate Christmas together. The family villa in the Spanish countryside is exactly as she remembers – except for the addition of Nadia, a Romanian refugee who has claimed Aitana’s bedroom, her clothes, and her family heirlooms. Why have Aitana’s conservative parents, long suspicious of immigrants, embraced the mysterious Nadia with such uncharacteristic warmth? Is Nadia a shrewd usurper, or an unwitting vessel for darker forces spreading across the land? A twisty thriller that locates the uncanny in the reflexive cordiality of the holiday season, YOU ARE NOT ME is a dark and disturbing dispatch from the most irrational realm: family.

"successfully spins a well-worn horror/thriller formula by blurring the line between genuine family drama and its more heightened undertones.”
Joseph Tomastik
Loud and Clear Reviews
”A merrily disturbing tale of fractured and frayed family dynamics. You think your family is odd at Christmas? You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
Kat Hughes
The Hollywood News
“Through our protagonist’s bubbling anger, the filmmakers drag you to the edge of your seat, waiting for the powder-keg of tension to explode and take the whole house down with it.”
