The Nest

Synopsis

One morning. Two points of view. Will today be the day? Laura desperately hopes so. Otherwise it's just another morning dealing with Alice, her overbearing mother. A film that weaves oil-painted animation with live-action film, to peel back the layers of consciousness and reveal one family's dark history.
