Storia
Selah, a teenage girl, has lived her entire life in an isolated forest commune led by Shepherd, a messiah-like figure who controls every aspect of the community's lives. The group consists solely of women, with each member either his wife or daughter. As Selah reaches adolescence, she begins to question their way of life after experiencing nightmarish visions and discovering disturbing truths about Shepherd and the community. When authorities force them to relocate deeper into the woods, Selah's doubts intensify, leading her to challenge Shepherd's authority and uncover the dark secrets hidden within their closed-off world.
Riassunto
Other Lamb (2019) is a psychological thriller directed by Malgorzata Szumowska and Małgorzata Szumowska. Set within an insular religious cult led by Shepherd, the film follows Selah, one of his young female followers, as she navigates her adolescence within this isolated community. The story explores themes of faith, manipulation, and self-discovery while offering a chilling glimpse into the dark side of cult life. The movie is notable for its atmospheric portrayal of a closed-off world, its exploration of the complexities of religious devotion, and its examination of the power dynamics at play between Shepherd and his followers.
