Hunter (Haley Bennett) has a good-looking husband, a big house, fabulously wealthy parents-in-law, and research results clearly indicate that a baby is beginning to develop in her body. Locked in her golden cage, the girl surrenders completely to the will of the family, which takes more and more control over her life. Hunter develops an unusual defense mechanism: an irresistible urge to swallow small items such as glass balls, pins and other things found in the corners of the house. A seemingly perfect world begins to crumble into pieces.
Unsatisfied, Carlo Mirabella-Davis' full-length debut is an extraordinary combination of social drama and psychological thriller, in which references to Rosemary's Baby serve as fuel for the emancipatory story. The film premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival and embarked on an impressive festival tour, selected by Indiewire as one of the most serious candidates for next year's Oscars. Apart from the magnetic Haley Bennett (The Girl from the Train, Straight to the Heart), the screen also features Elizabeth Marvel (House of Cards, Homeland) and Denis O'Hare (Big Little Lies, Dallas Buyers Club).
