Daycare

Daycare is a psychological domestic drama about the fragile line between postpartum anxiety and maternal intuition.

Olivia Pattinson is a first-time mother trying to return to normal life after childbirth-if "normal" even exists anymore. Sleep-deprived and hyperaware, she finds herself caught between the world's expectations and the quiet, relentless voice inside her that insists something isn't right.

At daycare, small details begin to surface. Dismissed concerns. Unanswered questions. Shifts in her daughter's behavior that no one else seems to notice-or care to. Each incident alone feels minor. Together, they form a pattern Olivia cannot ignore.

As authoritative reassurance clashes with instinct, Olivia must confront an unbearable possibility: is this postpartum anxiety unraveling her sense of reality... or is she the only one truly paying attention?

Raw, intimate, and unsettling, Daycare explores the vulnerability of infants who cannot speak for themselves, the power structures that silence mothers, and the terrifying isolation of being told you are overreacting when your entire body is sounding the alarm.

Because when a child cannot speak,
sometimes the mother has to become the voice.
