Hatching
Description
Tween gymnast Tinja finds the perfect coping mechanism for dealing with her demanding mother in caring for a large, mysterious egg. She hides it away and keeps it warm, and in return it soothes her. But the trouble with eggs? They hatch. With a triumphant performance from Siiri Solalinna as Tinja and frankly unnerving special effects, Hatching is part body horror, part creature feature, part cautionary tale. Think hard about what you wish for — getting what you want might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
