Love is the monster

In the near future, a tropical dystopia is ruled by fear and rampant inequality. An ambiguous armed conflict is being fought elsewhere by the society’s men, and the wealthy live hyper-vigilant in gated enclaves protected by armed guards, fearing mysterious threats, and anyone less privileged, from outside their walls. A grandmother, determined to atone for her own failings as a mother, spends as much of the time she has left with her beloved six-year-old granddaughter, while struggling to abide by the community’s strict rules. When a series of missteps plunges them into a dangerous situation, love and fear compel her to make decisions with dire consequences.
