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