Shiva Baby

Saturday 31 October

19:45 - 21:02 Trianon 3

In Emma Seligman’s feature length debut we become acquainted with Danielle’s entire Jewish family for one very long day, during which she runs into her secret sugar daddy - as well as her way-too-successful ex-girlfriend after the funeral of a mutual friend. During the film we hardly ever leave the family home where the shiva takes place, and as the plot unfolds, with help of the swelling score, we, together with Danielle, increasingly crave that all-too-familiar excuse to go for a walk around the block. A hilarious, realistic and frantic buffet of second-hand embarrassment and discomfort that feels at once very much, and not at all like everyone’s typical family obligation.
