Film Overview
June, a 35-year-old woman reeling from a missed miscarriage, returns to her car to find an uninvited passenger: a loud, cheerful puppet named Daisy. What begins as a waking nightmare becomes something unexpected. Daisy shifts from nuisance to companion, helping June navigate grief, logistics, and the impossible pressure to just "get over it." A dark comedy about loss, motherhood, and the strange forms comfort can take.
