A creative and often irreverent documentary that introduces us to some extraordinary men and women - characters with real life experience to last the course of being "cocooned" during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a story that celebrates the resilience and bravery of the older generation and that honours their acceptance and grit in the face of adversity. The film was the director's personal reaction to the Covid-19 crisis. Ken's mum Ethel resides in a nursing home. Both Ken and his family experienced first hand the often complicated and sad times associated with lockdown restrictions.Ken worked closely with the award-winning cinematographer Kate McCullough during the crisis to craft this absorbing picture of lives under lockdown. Photographed primarily at night through peoples' windows while conversations are recorded on telephones, "Cocooned" exquisitely showcases the calm eeriness of the national lockdowns.
