Child (International Competition)
Natasha is 38 years old and does not want to become a mother. He is even desperate to see his close friends and does not want to get rid of the feeling of abandonment. When traveling on the weekends, the baby falls into the arms – literally. He had to get rid of it at all costs, but fate decided otherwise. The young woman does not end her misfortune: she finds that everyone who approaches the child finds death.
With an unusual tone and caustic humor, Children Addresses a still taboo issue: women’s reluctance towards children. Creators Lucy Gamer and Sean Robbins-Grace take on this rare theme by playing horror codes on television, between Rosemary’s baby and the curse. Leading actor Cinead Kusak is excellent.
Baby, soon available on OCS.
