A Banquet

Family or famine.

A claustrophobic psychological horror that uses a daughter's religious delusion and self-starvation to explore a mother's faith, love, and the limits of parental control.

Widowed mother Holly is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey experiences a profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own, but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.
