Sante Productions presents Portal, a 10-episode vertical web series that blends mystery, fantasy, and emotional drama into a mobile-first storytelling experience. The story follows Rini and Tania, two sisters grieving the recent loss of their father. His final message is as cryptic as it is urgent: destroy the refrigerator he left behind within three days. But when the sisters open it out of curiosity, they are transported into a stunning parallel world—raising questions about what their father was truly protecting them from.

Told in a 9:16 format and designed for digital-native audiences, Portal weaves a layered narrative about grief, curiosity, and the unseen dangers of escapism. Sante Productions crafted the series to feel both cinematic and intimate, using surreal production design and emotional pacing to build tension over ten short episodes. Through this otherworldly adventure, Portal invites viewers to reflect on family, legacy, and the idea that beauty sometimes hides difficult truths.
