Mare's Nest

Mare’s Nest is a poetic road movie that follows Moon and a group of children as they wander through striking coastlines, caves, and deserts in search of meaning after the world has seemingly unraveled. Inspired by Don DeLillo’s The Word for Snow, the film gives voice to young people grappling with climate anxiety, memory, and language — moving from words to silence, from history to myth. Told in episodic fables that blur time and place, it’s a story of disorder and reinvention, where the ruins of the past become playgrounds for the future. Both haunting and hopeful, Mare’s Nest invites us to imagine what new worlds children might create once ours has gone.
