When Leah (Gaby Hoffmann, Girls, Transparent) and music agent June (Ingrid Jungermann,The Slope) move into a spacious apartment with their infant daughter, Lyle, they have a seemingly perfect life; Leah is about to give birth and June’s current music act is about to take off in the charts. But Leah soon suspects the apartment block holds dark secrets; their downstairs neighbour fakes a pregnancy, and with June becoming increasingly distant, Leah finds comfort in talking with the beautiful model upstairs… but can anyone at all be trusted? Language: English Lyle is that very rare treasure – a lesbian horror film with a palpable sense of unease and creeping paranoia that builds until the final shocking scene.
