(Pahanhautoja, Hanna Bergholm, Finland/Sweden 2022, 91 min., DCP, Finnish w/English Subtitles)

12-year-old Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) is caught between fantasy and reality. Her mother, a lifestyle influencer, puts the most positive spin on her family life while Tinja struggles at school and in her gymnastics routine, which her mother has been highlighting in her feed. Under immense pressure, Tinja finds solace in caring for an abandoned bird's egg she brings in from the forest. Under her close attention, the egg grows to human size before the beast within hatches. Bonded with Tinja, it is free to do what she can’t, whether she really wants it or not.
