A personal essay documentary about growing up with mental illness in the family, about a confusing and destructive mother/daughter relationship and about repressed grief and family secrets.
Digging deep into the family archives, both in Australia and New Zealand, filmmaker Margot Nashs intimate and deeply personal documentary unfolds a mothers story of lost opportunities, lost love and grief, a fathers story of work, mental illness and war and a daughters story of trying to piece together a more complex picture of a difficult and divisive mother in order to understand her.
