Summaries

On a secluded family farm, a mother suffers a psychotic break due to postpartum depression, forcing the eldest son to protect his siblings from the mother they have always known and loved.

With her husband gone and the stress of family life rising, Mom suffers a psychotic break due to postpartum depression that compels her to exterminate her children: ages 10,7,4, and 3 months. Now hope for the family's survival rests on the shoulder of Jimmy, the eldest son and surrogate man of the house. Using his wits and intricate knowledge of the farm, Jimmy must try to protect his siblings while fending off the woman he has always known and loved as his mother. Thus, it comes down to the most epic of battles, Mother vs. Son, in the most horrific of scenarios.—Anonymous

The smart ten year-old Jimmy lives in an isolated farm with his mother and his three younger siblings. His father is a truck driver that spends most of the time on the road leaving the family under the care of his wife. When he travels during the night to deliver some cargo in a nearby town, his stressed wife finds a match box from a stripper-club in one of his pockets and this triggers a psychotic breakdown.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
