IN RETROSPECT. 5
An earth-toned ghost story about the ravages of time.
Matriarchy is a haunted house in explores the fear and shame allied to Alzheimer’s disease – an interior condition here rendered visible, visceral, in the form of a weatherboard house mottled with black mould. Inside, three generations of women exorcise their grief, tethered by familial bonds and the question of genetic destiny.
