The Hanging Garden
Drama
William, a once obese and troubled teen, goes back to his family's home after being gone, without word, for ten years and finds it (and his family) haunted with his past. He had moved to the city and become a fit, well-adjusted gay man, but during his visit home, he becomes unhinged as the newly remembered reasons for his miserable adolescence come to life in each of their presents.
VIBE
A deeply introspective and somber journey back to a suffocating hometown. It's a slow, deliberate unraveling of buried pain and the lingering ghosts of a troubled past, told with a quiet, haunting intensity.
