The Image

On a remote island an abusive mother keeps her adult son as a baby aided by his two sadistic siblings. The intense close knit family's world is disrupted when the free living naturist wood's folk are invited in to baby's second birthday. The two worlds clash with dramatic results as an alluringly sexual stranger exposes the groups abilities to communicate verbally and emotionally and ultimately ends in murder and the continuation of a cycle of abuse.

Follows the central character from infant innocence to an ageless teenage persona, we witness the tussle between a 'family' descending into delirium as the special relationship between an aunt and her teenage nephew is upset by the arrival of two mysterious guests. Spanning four mealtimes, the film dips in and out of horror clichés, whilst exploring gender roles, wildlife, cooperation and individual expression.
