Loving mother and full-time carer, every day is a battle for Mary. Wading through the bureaucratic mess that comes with caregiving, she has been left alone, unsupported, and sleep deprived. Simultaneously she struggles to fully understand her disabled, non-verbal son Murphy’s needs. After suffering another hard blow by an obtuse administrator, reality begins to blur. Finding the beauty in the everyday has never been more challenging.

Naomi Noir
She is a Dutch writer, director, and animator. Her often absurdist works mesh witty linguistics with raw linework to give a surrealist snapshot of the inner worlds of her unique characters. Her art imitates life. Her films draw inspiration from pub tales, reality television, and the painful topics that most of us avoid. Noir’s latest awardwinning work, Mother’s Child (2025), lays bare the everyday intricacies of having an adult child with special needs.
