A grieving son named Jack travels to remote New Zealand to bury his estranged mother, only to find her spirit refusing to stay buried. Her ghost begins possessing both Jack and her widow Jill in a supernatural psychological drama that blurs grief, guilt, and identity. The Progressive label follows naturally from the film's architecture. Jack is gay, his mother was in a long-term lesbian partnership, and queer identity sits at the center of the story without apology or spectacle. The family structure is fractured, built on abandonment and foster care rather than conventional bonds. Director Samuel Van Grinsven frames all of this through horror and trauma rather than sentiment, which keeps the film grounded.
