Trapped in a sort of domestic hellscape, on opposite sides of the same wall, Eva and Desiree must find a way to survive. The two characters develop diverging approaches to their circumstances but converge at a point of emotional vulnerability. TWO BIRDS explores the psychological effects of solitary confinement and pulls the larger matrix of gender and domesticity into focus.
