This film follows the story of a family who stay confined within their glasshouse to avoid the
“Shred”, a toxin which erases memories of anyone who breathes it in. However, everything changes
for them when one of the sisters invites a mysterious stranger into their home.
Soon after that, the family discovers some horrifying dark secrets buried deep down,
and they realize that everything they were told was a lie. Hey guys. Today, I am going
to explain a drama sci-fi thriller film released in 2021 called “Glasshouse.” This film is set in a
post-apocalyptic world, where we see a glasshouse located in the middle of the desert. It’s the only
place which is flourishing with life. We then see a man cautiously approaching the glasshouse,
but he is soon shot dead. We are then introduced to the family living in the glasshouse.
The three sisters, Bee, Evie, and Daisy, bring the man’s body inside and take whatever they find
useful. Then they cut the man open to get his organs, which they intend to use for preparing
compost for their kitchen gardens. Once they are done, they bury the body in their garden.
We are then introduced to their brother Gabe, who is trying to remember something. It turns
out that Gabe has lost some of his memories after being infected with the toxic air outside,
called the “Shred”, which makes people forget their memories. The siblings then join their
mother and tell her about the man they killed earlier. It is then revealed that they had
another brother named Luca, who, however, left the house years ago. Afterwards, the family performs
some strange rituals unique to the family. This ritual is to help them preserve their stories
and remember who they are. The next day, Bee stands guard in the forest to stop trespassers.
She then sees another stranger approaching her. The man takes off his mask before passing out.
Instead of killing him, Bee decides to bring him back to the glasshouse. When their mother learns
about this, she becomes furious and wants to get rid of the man immediately. But Bee
insists on letting him stay, as she thinks that the man may have information about their brother
Luca. So the mother decides to let the man stay, saying that everything serves its purpose. She
then teaches the sisters how to stitch a wound by patching the stranger’s injured leg. Later
that night, the mother straps Gabe to his bed, as he gets nightmares at night. The next morning,
Gabe is shocked to discover that he has wet his bed. So Bee and Evie help him clean the sheets.
Bee is tired of cleaning his sheets every day, but Evie tells her that she needs to be patient and
gentle. Afterwards, they change the Stranger’s bandages. When Evie goes to fetch some water,
Bee can’t take her eyes off the Stranger, as she is feeling a strange attraction to him.
Just then, the man wakes up and asks for some water. Bee gives him water but reminds him not
to try anything. When the mother learns that the stranger is awake, she goes to interrogate him.
Although the man doesn’t seem to remember his name, he reveals that he came from the city
in the east. Everything outside is gone, and most people have gone mad after losing their memories.
The Stranger asks the mother if she will let him go, but the mother refuses, saying that he can be
dangerous. So he will help them with their tasks and repay his debt for saving his life.
Gabe isn't happy about the arrival of the stranger, but Bee assures him that the man
is harmless. The next day, the mother tells Daisy and Gabe to dig up the previous trespasser and use
the body to put a special warning. The Stranger is shocked to see Daisy playing with the dead body,
while Gabe chops off the limbs and hangs them in the forest as a warning. Bee then goes to
see the stranger and gives him a plate of every fruit they grow, as she wants to impress him.
Later when Evie joins them, Bee sends her away, as she wants to be alone with the stranger. Later,
Evie warns Bee that she cannot trust the stranger, as he still may be dangerous. But Bee ignores her
warning, saying she feels like she already knows a lot about him. The next day, Daisy asks the
stranger if he can tell her what a horse looks like. The stranger tells her that he can make one
for her if she brings him a knife. So Daisy goes to the garden and quickly steals the knife without
the sisters noticing. As the stranger finishes making the horse, Gabe sees him. The stranger
shows Gabe how the pieces connect and tells Gabe to give them a try. But Gabe struggles to connect
the pieces and gets upset. So he starts destroying everything. The others quickly come there and try
to control him. Daisy unlocks the Stranger’s ankle so that he can help restrain Gabe.
The mother is now convinced that the stranger isn't a threat, so she decides to let him walk
freely. Later that night, the stranger goes to see Bee. Bee calls him Luca, but the stranger
says that he can't be Luca, as he doesn’t feel for her the way a brother should. But surprisingly,
Bee says that it means he is indeed Luca. The next day, Bee asks the stranger to fetch a brush
from the seed shed. There he sees Evie holding a memory box and asks her about it. Evie reveals
that she used to play the game with Luca, but now that he is gone, no one plays this game anymore.
When Evie learns that the stranger is spending more time with Bee and Daisy, she becomes furious.
She thinks that the stranger is trying to replace her by being around Bee and Daisy. Afterwards,
the mother confronts the stranger and tells him that everyone has their purpose. She suggests that
his purpose might be to impregnate Bee. The next day, Evie goes to the seed shed and is shocked to
see the stranger and Bee getting intimate. This triggers aa memory of her, in which she saw Bee
getting intimate with Luca. Evie runs away soon after the stranger catches her peeking. Later,
the stranger approaches Evie and tries talking to her. Evie warns him that he can't manipulate her
the way he is manipulating Bee. She also says that Bee’s mind is already fragile enough, and
more manipulation may damage her mind. After Evie leaves, the stranger discovers the memory box,
where he finds Luca’s necklace inside. So he steals it and tells everyone that he had it all
along with him. Evie sees through his lies and says that he is a fake. But Bee defends
the stranger, saying that Evie is just jealous of her. The mother is disappointed in Bee and says
that she expected more from Bee as the eldest child, but her feelings for Luca betrayed her.
Later that night, Evie goes to see the mother and confesses that she is angry, as she is the only
one who cares about the truth. Her mother tells Evie to trust her, as she has always taken care
of the family. Once Bee gives birth to a child, Luca will be gone like he always has Been. As days
pass by, the stranger asks the mother to give him more tasks, but the mother refuses, as he won’t be
staying forever. Later, the mother tells Bee that she will have to choose between the baby and the
stranger, as the plants cant make enough oxygen to sustain all of them. Bee is upset by this
and doesn’t want to lose Luca again. She tells the stranger everything and says that if he leaves,
she will leave with him. Meanwhile, Gabe climbs up to Evie’s bed and tries to get
intimate with her. But Evie stops him, as she doesn’t share the same feeling as him.
When the stranger learns about this, he tells Evie that she doesn’t need to take care of Gabe,
as she too deserves to be happy. The next day, the stranger goes to see the mother and tells her that
Gabe is becoming unstable, so they must send him outside instead. But the mother trusts Gabe more
than the stranger, so she refuses to change her mind about sending him away. Later that night,
the stranger confronts the mother alone. He grabs her and then strangles her to death. Before dying,
she calls the stranger an actor and says that she knows he is not Luca. The stranger then places
her body next to Gabe, making it look like Gabe killed her. Gabe is horrified by this and attacks
the stranger. The sisters come there and are horrified to discover that their mother is dead.
While the sisters mourn over their dead mother, the stranger restrains Gabe and opens the window.
He wants Gabe to lose all his memories, saying that it is less painful when you don’t remember.
The stranger reveals that he is not affected by the “Shred”, and he remembers everything.
Meanwhile, Bee checks out the memory box and gets a flashback of the day when she was on sentry
duty. When she saw a man approaching her, she killed him immediately. But when she saw his face,
she was horrified to learn that he was Luca. He was trying to grab his flashlight to signal Bee,
but got killed before he could do so. Bee was so devastated that she took off her mask
in grief to forget the memories and ease the pain. When Bee tells Evie about this, she realizes that
Evie knew about it all along and kept it a secret all these years. Bee is heartbroken
by this revelation and wants to go outside to forget the bad memories. Evie tries to stop her,
but Bee has made up her mind. The stranger also comes there and tells Evie to let Bee
go. Afterwards, Evie discovers that Gabe has lost all his memories and he doesn’t remember anything
anymore. Bee comes back inside and is happy now as if nothing ever happened. Evie is devastated
by this and says that the Shred is taking them all, and she is the only one who will remember.
But the stranger tells Evie that he too will remember, just like her. The two then embrace
each other and get intimate. Meanwhile, Bee tells Daisy to stop wearing her mask
and let Evie guide their memories, just like their mother did. Evie then takes their mother’s
place and performs the ritual in her place. The stranger becomes Luca, Bee becomes Evie’s sister,
Daisy becomes Bee’s daughter, and Gabe becomes the brother of all. As days pass by, Bee also starts
walking in the open without her mask, completely oblivious to her surroundings. Evie says that
Bee too will eventually become like Gabe. One day, Gabe randomly digs in the ground and discovers
two skeletons with the necklace of Bee and Evie. It turns out that the mother kept the names and
necklaces of the people that lived before as they took their place and identity. The Stranger is on
duty and is looking over Gabe when he notices a trespasser approaching. He aims his rifle at him,
but changes his mind and shoots Gabe instead, whose mind is far too gone. He wants to make room
for the new trespasser, who will then become the next Gabe. So this was the story of “Glasshouse.”
