Kelly, a 17-year-old, leads an ordinary life between high school, social media, and her family conflicts. But everything changes the day she pretends to be having an affair with her teacher, in an attempt to provoke a reaction from her parents. What she hadn’t anticipated was the murderous madness this lie would unleash… Behind their outward appearance of ordinary parents, Tony and Josy hide an unsuspected darkness. Kelly’s confession unleashes a chilling violence within them, unleashing a spiral of revenge, manipulation, and bloodshed. Caught in a headlong rush that’s as absurd as it is macabre, the couple transforms their supposed parental love into a veritable human hunt. Between family thriller and dark comedy, Parental Love of the Hunted explores the limits of parental madness when love becomes an excuse for horror… And when a simple teenage lie can shatter an entire life.
