"One might look around in all directions and see no sign of civilization whatsoever."
Set against the bleak and mysterious landscape of the English moors, this dark comedy follows two spinster sisters, Agatha and Huldey, as they navigate life in their isolated manor. When a young governess arrives, seeking employment, she finds herself entangled in the sisters’ twisted power games and hidden desires.
Meanwhile, a mastiff and a moor-hen grapple with their own existential crises. Inspired by the works of the Brontë sisters, The Moors is a gothic and absurdist exploration of ambition, isolation, and the search for love and meaning in a harsh, unforgiving world.
