General Comments: An odd story told in a one-of-a-kind style that feels equal parts sentimental, sombre and strange; addressing concerns with pressing social issues and the messy emotions of actual human-beings. Despite brief problematic content and an ambiguous climax, the plot is magic. A story of single Motherhood and children choosing their paths in life; versatile story-telling in a perfectly balanced way.

Favourite Quote: ‘I have lived knowing nothing of the forest so there is nothing I can teach you. Go into the wild. Know the world.’
