An incarcerated crew fights fires for 70¢ an hour. A housebound mother struggles against the celebration of matrescent martyrdom. Observing and reenacting daily routines where human potential is bought and sold, these projects document their own production in contested terrain, confronting the exploitations of capitalist culture on the clock.
A housebound mother's hunger for agency and control among the mutating textures and temporalities of her home sets off an uncanny transformation. A portrait of matrescence and post-partum depression in the time of pandemic lockdown, narrated in Western Armenian— the filmmaker's endangered mother tongue.
