Lemon Meringue Pie
2020, 15 minutes
A representation of motherhood that expresses the painful complexity of the role allowing it to sit in a grey area.
Lemon Meringue Pie is a suspense thriller about Beatrice, a heavily pregnant woman, who becomes convinced, over the course of one night, that there is someone trying to break into her house. We watch her grapple with her fear of becoming a parent, watching old home movies to look for guidance and phoning her own mother for comfort. However, what she seeks security in, only fuels her paranoia and self doubt.
