'Malignant': A Fun, Wacky Horror with Feminist Undertones
Malignant is a roller coaster ride of slow-build scares, moments of wonderfully absurd camp, and explorations of autonomy.
A Shared (Hi)story
In February 2023 a group of adopted young people from China born between 1999 and 2002 meet in Barcelona. There they pool their experiencies with the family and the environment that have fostered them: the funny anecdotes, the difficult ones, the hegemonic story of adoption... The meeting is organized and recorded by Àlex M. Llorens, also adopted from China, who writes a full-length film about the transition into adult life of people like them and she shares with them her discoveries.
