Film with Hope

A nine year old child, speaks to us directly about her lifetime work of raising her mother.

The film considers the passing of time, in wanting to have and catch hold of meaningful events with your child. 

Hanging out in local everyday environments – the back yard, the

woods, the school; turning them into sets, stages 

and places of fantasy. All of this alongside the particular peculiarities of bringing up children in our current age.
