## Resource

After her breakout horror hit Hatching, Finnish writer-director Hanna Bergholm returns with Nightborn, a dark, Grimm-style fable about motherhood, identity, and the fears we don’t talk about. Premiering in Berlinale Competition, the English-language film follows a new mother who becomes convinced something is terribly wrong with her baby. In this episode, Bergholm dives into the personal experiences behind the story, her fascination with practical effects and unsettling creature design, and why she wanted to explore rage, isolation, and transformation in parenthood — all with a touch of dark humor.
