12-year-old Tinja is desperate to please her mother, a woman obsessed with presenting the image of a perfect family. One night, Tinja finds a strange egg. She hides it, she keeps it warm, she promises that she will take care of it. What hatches is beyond belief. A brilliantly innovative body horror film that premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Hatching stands out as it employs animatronics instead of CGI.

Scenes depicting sexuality/violence in this film might be disturbing for some viewers.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
