“What if the ideal life you've meticulously constructed isn’t enough?”
Sam newly a mother shops at a supermarket with her baby and husband Carlson. She throws a neighborhood shishkabob party in her den. Her family shares a Sunday breakfast. But through her smiles and picturesque tasks there's a suppression. Sam’s grown something she can no longer contain. As she purges this parasite we move inside her body and experience this wildness as a feverish dance.The parasite ejects us back into the kitchen of another woman alone eating breakfast as she looks at a happy couple pictured on the back of her cereal box. It’s Sam and Carlson. What's beneath a picture? A dream within a dream. Horror meets dance SWALLOWED suggests a complex truth to motherhood and domesticity. (The Criterion Channel)
