Well done!

Susan's (Carie Kawa) has had her career as a cold case writer fall apart, so she's hiding out at a friend's remote vacation house. When she gets there, she meets Eddy (Will Brill) and Abby (Grace Morrison). He's digging sludge out of the backyard; she makes a spot of tea a strange and not altogether pleasant affair. They're the caretakers of the home, or so they say, but then Susan hears a baby cry a room away.

Trust me, that's no normal baby.

Director and writer Alex Fofonoff may only have two other sorts on his resume, but this tense and well-acted piece points to him as a person of interest. If this was longer -- it totally could be -- it would be a movie plenty of people were talking about.

provocative
Kirpianuscus9 January 2023
A provocative short film at the limit between horror and Sci Fi.

A young writer prefers , after a delicate event, the refuge of her friends. But she is not alone and the nice caretakers of house , not the most desired house mates , are just ...creepy.

In short, from a cup of tea , the story proposes a not so ordinary baby - but fascinating one - , the strange attitude of owners of house and an end far to be real comfortable.

It is a beautiful short film for the fist of suggestions and, especially , for the eccentric end.

A project, so defined by te girlfriend - wife of caretaker and something real seductive in strange manner.

In essence, a provocative game of director, seducing the viewer like biyarre couple Susan.
