A HOUSE
A young woman must face the trauma of her childhood while spending an evening alone with her terminally ill father.
Inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, writer/director Matthew D. Taylor sets out to dramatise the long-term effects of punishment on children and the family unit. The result, A House, is a powerful meditation on filial mercy and resentment.
