Private Project

Time of Moulting (experimental short film)

A family is sitting in front of the TV. The conversation with the parents does not lead anywhere. Daughter Stephanie flees the depressing reality into a secret world of auto-cannibalistic fantasies in which her possessive mother plays a special role.
