The Egg Cracked, short film script

"A widower struggling to contain an adder infestation on his farm takes his only daughter to university on the day she leaves home." Beginning with a farmer stamping on a nest of snake eggs in his field at dawn, this short film uses visual metaphor and folklore to explore the emotional complexity of a simple moment in a parent's life; a child leaving home. A moment made all the more powerful by the father's isolation and status as a widower.
