When a basement-dwelling hermit successfully hatches a creature from an egg, his attempt to raise the perfect son is derailed by an ill, elderly father, annoying neighbors, and his own inability to connect.

Holland LaGarde is a filmmaker and musician based in Brooklyn, NY whose work is deeply informed by his background in sound design, songwriting, and music video production. Holland’s films often delve into the realms of fantasy, science fiction, and the supernatural, but with an emphasis on demystifying and destigmatizing the cultural symbols and clichés that shape those genres. His approach is both imaginative and grounded, aiming to strip away those romanticized or sensationalized elements.
