102 MinsBirthright lays bare the seismic chasm between the wealth of baby boomers and the precarity of their millennial children.
Evicted and jobless, Cory and his pregnant wife Jasmine are forced to move back in with his parents. What begins as temporary refuge quickly festers into unease, as his parents grow fearful he may never leave and Cory’s own desperation to measure up unravels into paranoia. His grasp at an unexpected path to success detonates the fragile balance, turning family life into generational war.
Writer-director Zoe Pepper infuses the story with biting humour and theatrical flair, crafting a dark satire of housing, inequality and the collapse of middle-class ideals. Both unsettling and disturbingly fun, Birthright transforms a suburban household into a crucible for privilege, resentment and fear. The result is a generational showdown where millennial despair and boomer entitlement collide, and where neither side escapes unscathed.
