What is the plot?

Together (2025) opens with a tense prologue in which a search party combs through a forest calling for two missing people, Keri and Simon. Two search dogs enter an underground cave and drink from a mysterious pool of water. After resurfacing, the dogs exhibit strange behavior, staring silently at each other. Later that night, the dogs' owner hears unsettling noises from their kennel and discovers the two animals grotesquely fused together, a disturbing omen of the supernatural forces tied to the cave.

The story then shifts to Tim Brassington and Millie Wilson, a couple preparing to move from the city to a rural countryside home. Millie, an elementary school English teacher, has secured a new job, while Tim, a struggling musician, is emotionally distant and uncertain about their future. At a going-away party with friends, Millie proposes to Tim with an invisible ring, but his hesitation creates an awkward moment, foreshadowing the tension in their relationship.

Shortly after moving in, Tim and Millie go for a hike near their new home. During a sudden rainstorm, they become lost and stumble upon the same underground cave from the prologue. They fall through a hidden pit into a cavern filled with discarded church furniture and an eerie pool of water. Tim drinks from the pool, while Millie refuses. They decide to spend the night in the cavern, building a fire and shelter. During this time, Tim shares a traumatic story from his childhood: after his father's sudden death, his mother suffered a psychotic break and slept beside his decomposing corpse, a memory that haunts Tim into adulthood.

The next morning, Tim and Millie awaken to find their legs stuck together by a strange substance. They painfully separate themselves and manage to climb out of the cavern, returning home. However, the experience marks the beginning of a bizarre and terrifying transformation. Tim starts experiencing uncontrollable urges to be near Millie; when she leaves for work or other errands, his body moves involuntarily toward her, even blacking out at times. In one unsettling episode, Tim tries to eat Millie's hair in his sleep.

Millie, initially skeptical, begins to question their relationship as Tim's condition worsens. Despite this, they share an intimate encounter at Millie's workplace, but their bodies begin to physically merge--after sex, their genitals become stuck together, forcing them to painfully separate. This physical fusion symbolizes their deepening, yet disturbing, connection.

Tim consults a doctor who dismisses his symptoms as panic attacks and prescribes muscle relaxants to prevent his body from acting independently. The doctor also mentions the recent disappearance of Keri and Simon, the couple from the prologue, hinting at a larger mystery tied to the cave and the surrounding area.

Millie befriends a local teacher and neighbor, Jamie McCabe, who offers to show her around. Jamie reveals knowledge of a cult that once occupied the area, centered around a church that collapsed into the cavern. He explains that the cult practiced a ritual to literally merge two people into one, believing soul mates were meant to become fully fused. Jamie himself is the product of such a fusion, having once been two men who merged into one being.

As Tim and Millie's bodies continue to involuntarily merge--first their arms fuse while they sleep, causing them to panic and take muscle relaxants to slow the process--they realize the transformation is unstoppable. They use an electric saw to cut through the skin binding their arms, a painful and desperate attempt to maintain their individuality.

Millie goes to Jamie's house to retrieve her car keys, which she left there. While there, she discovers a wedding video of two men undergoing the cult's fusion ritual, slicing their wrists and pressing them together to become one. Jamie reveals himself as the result of this ritual and urges Millie to accept the fusion with Tim, promising happiness. When she resists, Jamie violently slashes her arm to hasten the process. Millie fights back, causing Jamie to split into two separate men, revealing his true nature as a fused being.

Meanwhile, Tim returns to the cave and discovers the grotesque fusion of Keri and Simon, now a monstrous humanoid formed from their failed attempt to resist the merging. Simon's half is fatally wounded, and the creature pleads with Tim to kill it. Tim escapes, horrified by the fate awaiting those who resist the fusion.

Back at their home, Tim and Millie reunite. Tim confesses his love and proposes to Millie, acknowledging that his past trauma had prevented him from fully committing before. However, fearing the loss of their identities, Tim prepares to kill himself to spare Millie from the forced fusion. Millie, weakened from her arm wound inflicted by Jamie, urges Tim to let her die so he can live freely. Instead, Tim saves her by willingly fusing his arm to her wound, stopping the bleeding and accepting their shared fate.

Embracing their inevitable transformation, Tim and Millie strip naked and dance intimately to the Spice Girls' "2 Become 1," their bodies slowly merging into a single androgynous being. This final fusion symbolizes their complete union, transcending their previous individual identities.

The film concludes with Millie's parents arriving for Sunday dinner. When they ring the doorbell--adorned with the same symbol found around the cave--they are greeted not by their daughter and son-in-law, but by the new singular entity that is the fusion of Tim and Millie. The androgynous figure's appearance suggests that the couple has fully completed the merging process, leaving their former selves behind.

Throughout the film, the narrative explores themes of intimacy, codependency, and identity through the literal and grotesque physical merging of Tim and Millie. The mysterious cave, the cult's ritual, and the supernatural water serve as catalysts for this transformation, while the characters' psychological struggles and relationships deepen the story's emotional impact. The deaths include the implied demise of Keri and Simon through their monstrous fusion, Jamie's violent splitting back into two men after Millie's resistance, and the symbolic death of Tim and Millie's individual selves as they become one.

What is the ending?

The movie Together (2025) ends with the two main characters, Millie and Tim, accepting their fate and completing a supernatural fusion process that merges them into a single being. After a series of harrowing events involving a mysterious force that causes grotesque bodily changes, Tim and Millie embrace their transformation, slow dance to "2 Become 1," and fuse into an androgynous person. The final scene shows Millie's parents visiting their home, greeted by this new singular entity, indicating the fusion is complete.

Expanding on the ending scene by scene:

Millie enters Jamie's house, where she finds a television playing a wedding tape of two men she does not recognize. The tape then shows a ritual in which these men fuse together. Jamie, revealed to be the result of this fusion, tells Millie that they are happier after "becoming whole" and urges her to complete the fusion process with Tim. When Millie resists, Jamie cuts her arm in the same way the men in the tape had their arms cut before the fusion ritual. Millie manages to escape.

Millie reunites with Tim in their driveway. Tim shares that he saw a creature in a cave, which he believes is the result of resisting the fusion process. He explains that the Simon half was killed mid-fusion, and he does not want to end up like that. Tim prepares to commit suicide by slitting his throat to save Millie, despite her pleading with him not to. Millie's wound from Jamie causes her to nearly bleed out, but Tim saves her by fusing his arm to her wound.

Accepting their fate, Tim and Millie affirm their mutual love. They slow dance to the song "2 Become 1," embracing as they physically fuse into a singular being. This fusion symbolizes their unity and acceptance of the supernatural force affecting them.

The final scene takes place that weekend when Millie's parents arrive for a visit. They knock on the door, which is now adorned with the symbol from the cave. They are greeted by a seemingly normal, androgynous person, indicating that Millie and Tim have completed the fusion process and are now one entity.

In terms of character fate, Jamie is revealed to be a fused being from a previous ritual. Millie and Tim, after resisting and suffering injuries, ultimately choose to complete the fusion process together, becoming a new singular being. Millie's parents encounter this new form, suggesting the transformation is permanent.

Who dies?

Yes, characters do die in the 2025 film Together. Specifically:

  • Simon, part of a missing couple (Simon and Carrie/Keri), dies during a failed fusion process. The film reveals that Simon and Carrie attempted to undergo a ritual in a cave that involved fusing together, but Simon was killed mid-fusion. This is shown through a video tape of the ritual and the aftermath, where Simon's half is lost, and the fusion is incomplete.

  • Tim and Millie, the main couple, face a similar fate. Tim nearly commits suicide by slitting his throat to save Millie from fatal bleeding caused by an injury inflicted by Jamie (a fused being). However, instead of dying separately, Tim and Millie accept their fate and complete the fusion process by physically and emotionally merging into a singular being. This fusion effectively ends their individual existences as separate people, implying a form of death of their former selves.

The circumstances of these deaths are tied to a mysterious supernatural force linked to a cave ritual that compels couples to fuse into one entity. Simon and Carrie disappear after attempting this ritual, with Simon dying mid-process. Tim and Millie, after resisting and suffering physical trauma, ultimately choose to complete the fusion to survive, transforming into a new androgynous being, which is shown at the film's end when Millie's parents visit and are greeted by this fused entity.

In summary:

  • Simon dies mid-fusion during the ritual in the cave.
  • Tim nearly dies by suicide but instead fuses with Millie, ending their individual existences.
  • Millie does not die separately but fuses with Tim, creating a new singular being.

These deaths are central to the film's exploration of identity, love, and transformation through a supernatural horror lens.

The movie closes with Millie's parents arriving at their door and being greeted by this new merged entity, symbolizing their permanent togetherness.

Is this family friendly?

The 2025 movie Together is not family friendly and is rated R due to multiple mature and potentially upsetting elements for children or sensitive viewers.

Potentially objectionable or upsetting content includes:

  • Violent/disturbing content: graphic body horror with scenes of people being forcibly melded together, deep cuts causing bleeding, dismemberment (cutting off fingers and arms), bloody wounds, and jump scares. There are also scenes involving mutant creatures, visions of rotting corpses, and references to mass suicide.

  • Sexual content and nudity: several sex scenes with graphic nudity including male genitals, non-sexual breast and buttock nudity, and discussions of sex. There is also a scene of clothed people having sex with penetration detail.
