The Diaper Cake
2021 · 0h 18m · Drama
Watch it tonight if you want intimate, unflinching cinema about the terrifying reality of becoming a parent—this is the kind of small-scale drama that sneaks up on you with its honesty. The symbolism might feel heavy-handed, but the premise of two kids drowning in real time while a gift sits mockingly nearby has enough raw emotional potential to justify 90 minutes of your evening.
Plot
Lena and Vitya, both in their early 20s, are two kids who now have a kid of their own. In the postnatal hospital room, like in limbo, their first team project is to wake their son for a feed. As the new parents repeatedly fail, they have to deal with the irreversible changes in their lives and with each other. Meanwhile, the diaper cake silently sits in the room, like a time bomb.
