Joan's Teeth
· 12 min · Director: Padraic Lillis
Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Set in the institutional monotony of a senior care facility, Joan's Teeth follows Joan, funny, sharp, and unflinching, as she wrestles with the betrayals of aging and the stubborn remnants of the past. Her dentures become a darkly comic metaphor for everything she can't control: desire, loss, and mortality. Both tender and unsettling, the film is a chamber piece about defiance in decline, a woman refusing to go quietly, holding on to her bite until the very end.
