No Actual Mothers Were Harmed During The Making Of This Motion Picture.

ComedyDrama

A neurotic, twice-divorced sci-fi writer moves back in with his mother to solve his personal problems.

VIBE

A deeply uncomfortable yet strangely resonant dive into familial obligation and creative paralysis. It’s a film that feels like a half-remembered dream, filled with awkward silences and profound emotional undercurrents. A raw, introspective experience.
