La Molaire 2008

Decay takes root.

Directed by Peter Ahern

In an abandoned house, a broken wind-up doll stirs to life and undertakes a quiet, ritualistic task: planting a human tooth in a small pot of soil. It carefully tends the tooth with water and patience, waiting for something to grow. Time stretches on and the doll ultimately abandons the pot. But under the cold glow of moonlight, the soil stirs. Small hands claw their way out, and something new is born.
