NANNY

A powerful Sundance-winning debut
Nanny is the feature directorial debut of Nikyatu Jusu, and it made history by becoming the first horror film to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

A story about survival in a new world
The film follows Aisha, a Senegalese immigrant working as a nanny for a wealthy New York family while trying to build a better life and bring her son to the U.S.

Reality slowly turns unsettling
As Aisha settles into her job, her emotional stress and isolation begin to blur into haunting dreams and strange visions that disrupt her reality.

A psychological horror rooted in emotion, not jumpscares
Instead of relying on typical horror tropes, the film builds tension through mood, symbolism, and psychological pressure.

Explores motherhood and separation
At its core, the story focuses on a mother separated from her child, and how that emotional distance shapes her mental state and decisions.
