Writing
A group of children kidnap the legendary Christmas Witch, and put her on trial as a means of banishing her annual judgments.
Loosely based around the myth of Perceval, the film brings to life a short selection from the much larger and sprawling narrative of Fucked Up's latest 4-part concept album Year of the Horse. Blanche, the story's protagonist, experiences an awakening to the world around her while her mother, Kaye, continues to live in fear of it.
Follows Liza, who retreats to a '70s variety show in her mind as she struggles to cope with the impending death of her mother, trying to work through parts of their past without losing herself in the process.
