More About This Film

Child is a psychological horror drama about Anne and Greg, parents whose young son desperately needs a life-saving transplant. Their search for a solution takes them into morally dangerous territory, where every decision pushes them further away from the boundaries they once considered absolute.

The film combines family desperation with disturbing genre elements, using its parents' emotional crisis to explore guilt, inequality, and the cost of crossing an ethical line. Its rural and cross-border settings gradually transform the story from a tense family drama into a much darker nightmare.
