BORNE | Omeleto Drama

A mother faces danger. Kate is an isolated and vulnerable young single mother struggling to make ends meet. She lives a hard-scrabble life, with little support system to help with her baby. When her neighbor Marie offers to lend a hand, it's a godsend, and Kate and her child are welcomed by Marie into a larger religious community that Marie belongs to. Kate perhaps has some qualms about taking their help, since she has different beliefs, but for now, she needs the support, and the community seems to respect Kate's differences. But when Marie and her comrades begin to intrude upon Kate's space and home, Kate discovers that the community may not be as virtuous as it seems. Directed and written by Claire Molloy, this visually distinctive, finely honed short drama is a darkly captivating narrative that balances a stark, naturalistic approach to portraying Kate's struggles as a poor single mother with an effective build-up of thriller-like tension and suspense. Kate lives in a desolate coastal town, portrayed in raw but stunning cinematography as an isolated, even alienating place that shapes and reflects Kate's psychological landscape. Kate is often portrayed as dwarfed and solitary within these vast, washed-out seascapes, and the first half of the narrative explores her desperation, loneliness and yearning for connection. There's more intimacy and warmth in the interior scenes with her baby, but even then, Kate is alone and longing for any community. She seems to find that community when she meets Marie, who warmly offers her help in the form of a religious organization she belongs to. They offer her food as well as offer to help with her baby, and at first, it seems that Kate has found a space of connection and togetherness, where people seem to have her back. Actor Grace Hogg-Robinson captures the sense of relief that Kate experiences when she seems to have found a "soft place to land." But as the relationship between Kate and Marie progresses, signs of disquiet creep into the plot and form of the narrative. Played with actor Sadie Shimmin as someone who thinks she knows best, Marie has a solicitousness begins to feel intrusive, and even the musical score becomes more insistently discordant as Kate tries to set boundaries, only to have them invaded by Marie and her community. When Kate realizes the insidiousness that has seeped its way into her home, she must find the inner resilience and strength to extricate herself and save her child. That summoning of maternal fortitude against a threat forms the suspenseful ending section of BORNE, asking questions about religion, communities and socioeconomic vulnerability while portraying a mother's strength of will to do anything to keep her child safe.
