2026 · 11 min

A quiet, tender short that balances absurd comedy with raw grief, leaving you moved and slightly unsettled.

Directed by: Nell Riley
Genres: Comedy, Drama
Starring: Anna Camp, Peggy Etra

Overview: June, a 35-year-old woman reeling from a missed miscarriage, returns to her car to find an uninvited passenger: a loud, cheerful puppet named Daisy. What begins as a waking nightmare becomes something unexpected. Daisy shifts from nuisance to companion, helping June navigate grief, logistics, and the impossible pressure to just "get over it." A dark comedy about loss, motherhood, and the strange forms comfort can take.
