The Moment Trap - The Lennon Dream
Synopsis
Behind the antics and actions played out between our four main friends and the gangsters and criminals they encounter along the way, is a suggestion of the difficulties and questions that young adults face today in work, in love, and in preparing for life in the future. The prospect of being able to afford to raise a family, of owning one's own home, or even getting a job with a half-decent salary to start with looks vanishingly small these days - Perhaps crime appears to offer a more achievable route to affording such basic ideals...
This is a poignant look at some of the challenges and dilemmas that our modern society has created for the younger generations. Are we making a brighter future for our children or are we actually making life tougher?

Year:
Lil, a young mother, struggles to connect with her newborn baby. Ashamed and exhausted, she tells no one not even her domineering mother, Judith. But something terrifying already senses the void between them. Drawn to mothers who are uncertain or overwhelmed, an ancient creature begins to circle, waiting for an opportunity to rid her of her burden. When the family relocates to Judith’s childhood home, isolated deep in the countryside, buried tensions erupt and old secrets surface. The creature closes in, and a primal battle begins between a now-desperate mother and a relentless, all-consuming force.
