Newly evicted and jobless, 30-something Cory (Travis Jeffery) and his heavily pregnant wife, Jasmine (Maria Angelico), have no choice but to move into his childhood home – but just until they get back on their feet, of course. But this temporary measure slowly becomes a parasitic imposition on Cory’s baby-boomer parents (Michael Hurst and Linda Cropper), with absurd and ludicrous consequences. Cory is determined to prove that he can earn his stripes as “man of the house” – even if that house isn’t his. Sharp and farcical, director Zoe Pepper’s debut feature film is a twisted take on privilege, the housing crisis, and a disillusioned generation that hits very close-to-home indeed.

Directed by Zoe Pepper, English, 2025, 93 minutes
