The story: This tale of psychological horror from Finland opens with a family that has it all – a beautiful home in a middle-class suburb and happy parents with two high-achieving children, a young boy and a teenage girl. Mother (Sophia Heikkila, whose character remains nameless) is the architect of their lives and proud of her creation. One day, a wounded bird enters their home and leaves an egg. Daughter Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) hides the egg until the event of the film’s title happens – after which Tinja finds that she is not so alone after all. This film was selected to screen at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
