Poor Deer

Margaret Murphy, a young girl with a vivid imagination, finds solace in weaving fantastic tales to escape the harsh truth of her friend Agnes's death. Struggling with the weight of her role in the tragedy, Margaret tells herself stories of enchantment and happy endings to bury her unbearable memories. However, an uninvited and persistent entity named Poor Deer steps into her fictional world, challenging Margaret to confront the truth and seek redemption for her part in the deadly event. 'Poor Deer' delves into the complexities of guilt, memory, and the narratives we craft to cope with life's painful experiences, offering a glimpse into the healing journey of a child's inner world.
