DramaFamily

A woman and her 14-year-old daughter, who is a sleepwalker, in the midst of awakening. A marriage on the edges of a silenced crisis. A ritualistic, matriarchal, and endogamous family. Grandmother, siblings, cousins. A new summer, sweat, alcohol, traditions. Naked bodies, changing bodies, and the gazes upon those emerging bodies. A new New Year's celebration in the old historic family mansion is the trap for the sleepwalkers to finally awaken.

VIBE

A suffocating summer in a decaying mansion where repressed family secrets and adolescent awakenings bleed into one another. It's a humid, dreamlike descent into the subconscious, where unspoken tensions simmer beneath the surface of tradition.
