The front door hangs ajar, a gaping mouth in a house that has surrendered to entropy. Inside, the air is thick with the cacophony of eighteen siblings—shouting, crying, intimate whispers. The camera pans past the exhausted mother staring blankly at the sink, through the haze of arguments and slamming doors. Neighbors glare from windows; the town turns its back. In the center of this breathing mess, you stands amidst the chaos, unnoticed, surviving the collapse of the Graves family.
