The Wolves at the Door

A dark comedy that takes aim at corporate greed and questions the kindness of strangers.

It’s 2023. Amidst a cold snap, the cost-of-living crisis has hit and global energy prices are spiraling.

Daniel is reading his daughter ‘The Three Little Pigs’, but his life is anything but a fairytale. Little does he know, two “wolves” will soon be banging on his door to pay him an unexpected visit.

Can Daniel repel these unwanted visitors and keep his daughter safe, or will his life come tumbling down?
