VELLRANE

Placeholder synopsis. For forty-three years the Vellrane State Institute promised rest and restoration to the people nobody else wanted. Then it closed overnight, and its east wing was bricked up before the contractors arrived.

Decades later, boxes of water-damaged records surface in a county storage unit: admission forms with the names cut out, procedure logs that stop mid-sentence, a letter from a mother that was never answered.

Someone has to read them. Someone has to go downstairs.
