Rotten

Director - Abby Kolman

—

For Stella, being 17 is the best thing in the world, and she’d like it to stay that way, forever. Terrified of growing up, she isolates herself in her childhood bedroom to prepare for the perfect 18th birthday, convinced that if everything goes right, nothing will ever change.

As the day goes on, she refuses to accept that time passing is out of her control and ignores the signs that she has outgrown her environment, causing her room to slowly rot.

Rotten is an experimental coming of age film, exploring the complexities of modern girlhood, growing pains and the rejection of freedom.
