Claire Wilson

A daughter grapples to understand her dying mother through fables from her childhood. From present London to 1950s Ireland, a surreal, unsentimental look at the Hinterland between life and death, the bias of memory, and the thirst for narrative in the face of mortality.

15-year-old Rocks fears that she and her little brother Emmanuel will be taken into care and forced apart if anyone finds out that their mother has left them. Against all odds, and with the help of her loyal friends, she evades the authorities and navigates the most defining days of her young life.
