18 or the Daisies Withers (2026)

SOMETHING MUST BE LOST TO BECOME.

Set during the final ten minutes before an eighteenth birthday, the film follows a young protagonist on the threshold between childhood and adulthood. Through poetic monologues and symbolic ritual, it explores the fear, loss, and quiet transformation that accompany coming of age. Blending introspection with elements of symbolic horror, the film treats growing up not as a celebration, but as a rite of passage, culminating in a final return to childhood memory as midnight arrives.
