A disturbing coming-of-age body horror film that uses a grotesque creature as a metaphor for a child's desperate rebellion against maternal control and perfectionism.

12 year old Tinja is desperate to please her mother, a woman obsessed with presenting the image of a perfect family. One night, Tinja finds a strange egg. What hatches is beyond belief.
