Moth

The plot

In a sleepy town where polar night never ends, time seems to froze over. The only ones awake are moths fluttering around the dim lights and a little girl who sits on the rooftop, trying to outshine the moon. Inside the house, her parents are going through the motions of everyday life. Tired and lifeless they resemble statues, made out of decaying wood. Moth tells the story of a troubled family through the eyes of 8-year-old Mabil. Emotionally neglected by her parents, she escapes to a world of fantasy inhabited by her imaginary friend seeking comfort and affection. When she is faced with her family's struggle she is forced to make a heartbreaking decision. It is a tale of loneliness, dangers of escapism and ultimately - acceptance.
