Drama, UR
Luna Carmoon's feature debut is an intense and unusual drama, quite unlike anything else you might see this year, which announces a bold and visionary new talent in British cinema. Young Maria lives with her eccentric mother in a home full of love and rising piles of rubbish. Their small world feels magical until they are tragically separated. Now grown up, Maria tries to re-connect with the memory of her mother in unusual ways, a process that dramatically escalates when she forms an intense and primal bond with an older man.
