THE HOUSE DREAMS OF BIRTH AND DEATH.
When the Velasquez family moves into a quaint adobe home surrounded by forest, it’s the beginning of Isela’s dream life. Isela Velasquez is a pathological liar with strange impulses that terrorize her at night. She wants the perfect family, but she regrets becoming a mother.
Olivia Velasquez is four-years-old when she first meets the house. Spending most of her days alone, Olivia befriends the house and looks after it. At night, the house whispers into Olivia’s dreams, creating a bond between them.
The house takes on a maternal role when a brand new room is born. An immaculate conception turning the two-bedroom house to a three-bedroom home. This new room lures Isela inside and shows her pieces of herself that she’s refused to look at in her adult life. It agitates her. It teases her. It haunts her. When Olivia gathers the courage to enter the newly born room, she finds warmth and safety. The room creates lush, vibrant ecosystems right before her eyes.
DAUGHTER OF ROT blends magical realism with dreamlike botanical horror and explores the intertwining of toxic parenting with childhood innocence.
