THE GREAT CURDLING

THE GREAT CURDLING is a Folk-Sci-Fi film. It’s a darkly comic musical exploring the feeling that collective reality is at tipping point. A middle-class family are adjusting to a new kind of happy, now they have consumed a transformative liquid technology that helps re-structure them from the inside.

The father is interrogated by an Alexa-like voice and his answers build a picture of a world where ‘animals ended’ but mourning them is taboo. Meanwhile, on the shores of a strangely altered sea, two outcast women meet accidentally when they are attacked by autonomous flying packages. They sing about the Curdlings – some unspeakable intermingling of bio-tech horror and Fascism. Although the sea is dying, it's spawning something that could be new life – fantastical creatures that are half-cartoon, and take the form of tiny flexing hands. A funeral cult has formed, worshiping this new phenomena. They are teaching the exiled women how to re-format the colonized, curdled bodies of the dead into a new substance.
