Eight-year-old Josephine knows she witnessed something terrible, but struggles to find the words or answers to make sense of what she saw. Her parents grapple desperately with how to comfort and protect her, weaving thriller and horror conventions within a serious, sobering scenario. Writer-director Beth de Araújo creates an often uncomfortable yet vital film that interrogates how families explain the unspeakable to a child too young to fully process it, winner of the Grand Jury Dramatic Prize at Sundance.
