Nanny

• Horror
• Drama

Haunted by visions of her son left behind in Senegal, Aisha navigates the unsettling reality of being a nanny for a privileged family in New York City, where her duties bleed into a disquieting psychological space. This isn’t a simple tale of immigrant struggle, but a carefully constructed descent into a folklore-infused horror, exploring the anxieties of motherhood and the isolating weight of longing through a distinctly Black female gaze. The film subtly weaves together the mundane realities of childcare with increasingly vivid and terrifying hallucinations, creating a tense atmosphere where the boundaries between the real and the spectral blur, asking if the American Dream demands a sacrifice of self. It’s a chilling, contemplative unraveling of identity, steeped in West African mythology and a raw, unvarnished depiction of the emotional toll of displacement.
