Synopsis

From director Marc Foster (MONSTER'S BALL) comes EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER, a subversive psychological drama that is set amongst the baby showers and pre-natal classes of an ironically sunny, Stepford-esque suburbia. During the nesting stages of late pregnancy, Angie (Radha Mitchell) feels a private sense of creeping unease that is shockingly realised when her apparently healthy newborn son inexplicably dies after just one day. As Angie's world unravels her friends fail to support her, and the film exposes our lack of a social language with which to deal with death amidst the rituals of birth.

EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER premiered at the 200 Sundance Film Festival and earned Forster the Movado 'Someone To Watch / Independent Spirit' Award.
