A HORROR SHORT
An obsessive baker moves in with her boyfriend just as her sourdough starter develops a blood-thirsty craving

SYNOPSIS

Failed baker Laila has no choice but to move in with her partner Win to make rent.

Consumed with finding the recipe for success, Laila makes a sinister discovery: her sourdough starter only responds to blood.

As her blood-thirsty starter grows beyond her wildest dreams, Layla struggles to sustain both her relationship and her personal ambition.

THEMES

Drawing from the Cult of Domesticity, Breadwinner explores themes of power, co-dependence, and agency.

BREADWINNER COMBINES PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR WITH COMEDY

The film plays into pulp horrors like The Stuff and Little Shop of Horrors where the lives of ordinary people are disrupted by a monster that both embodies and exploits their deepest desires.
