In The Mother, a young woman visits a farmer’s market and finds a lot more than she bargained for in a chance encounter with a local kombucha brewer.

Written and directed by Hope Olaidé Wilson, The Mother is a chapter within Owls & Echoes, an award-winning bite-sized anthology of stand-alone short films exploring everyday scenarios and moral dilemmas with a darkly comic twist.
