Nightborn (YÖN LAPSI)

Dreaming of an idyllic family life, Saga and her British husband Jon move into a remote house deep in the Finnish forest – a place where Saga spent most of her childhood. But no sooner is their baby born than the new mother senses that something is very much wrong with her son. Following her debut film HATCHING, director Hanna Bergholm once again dares to look behind the façade of supposed family bliss: steeped in Finnish folklore, NIGHTBORN is an oppressive, atmospherically dense horror parable about motherhood.
