The Owls*

The eldest son is suddenly required to bring food to the table, as both his parents find themselves unemployed and adopt a rather passive stance to life. The son turns to prostitution to make ends meet, which eventually results in the disbandment of the family. The father is a traditional, homophobic middle-aged man who day-in and day-out tries to drink his sorrows away. The mother is rendered passive and ceases to question her surroundings, whilst the little brother is too young to understand what exactly is happening and how his family earns a living.
