ANT FARM

Following the death of the family matriarch we analyse how each surviving member self medicates their grief, whether that be drug fuelled raves, imaginary phantom water leaks or turning down love hungry proffesors in the pursuit of an education…all told through the eyes of an idiosyncratic young boy obsessed with keeping ant farms.
