Our Curse

About This Movie

Our Curse is a deeply personal documentary that unfolds like a raw diary entry from the director and his wife coping with the harsh realities of their newborn's Ondine's Curse. The film's tone is quite somber, laced with a palpable sense of vulnerability and love. It’s not just the disease that’s explored but the emotional landscapes parents traverse in such circumstances. The pacing feels deliberate, mirroring the slow, often agonizing days and sleepless nights they endure. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the unvarnished reality of their experience. Performances, particularly of the parents, are real and unfiltered, drawing you into their world. It’s a unique lens on a rare condition, showcasing both the fragility and resilience of life.
