Our take

Through the episodes of a 40-year-old woman’s crisis The Drifter provides a commentary on the social pressures and expectations relating to employment, parenthood, and womanhood imposed by our post-modern capitalist society. An eccentric and whimsical critique on emancipation and conformity.
