Attachment

Written by Heather Hampson and directed by Luke Stazakar.

A young couple are expecting their second baby, but after losing their first child in tragic circumstances the mother, Victoria, is not quite ready to move on. Only a supernatural encounter gives her the closure that she needs.

This film gives the audience a glimpse into the world of a parent dealing with the loss of a child and with the unwillingness to let go. When losing a loved one, humans often see, hear or smell things that aren’t there, but many feel ashamed to admit it due to a fear of ridicule.

“Bereavement hallucinations” are an extremely common phenomenon and often play an important part in any mourning process, having a positive and comforting role in the cycle of grief.
