This beautiful period piece brings to light the tensions of a family dealing with mental illness. This is the first feature film for festival favourite Canadian writer-director Shelagh Carter.

11-year old Sarah uses her creativity and inner strength to force her father to admit that something is wrong with her mother.

If you know what it’s like to grow up in a family where all is not what it seems, please help us make this film.

If you know what it’s like to have your creative dreams just out of reach, please help us make this film.

Although dealing with a serious topic, the film is ultimately inspirational and hopeful, as it speaks to the victory of surviving; the power of creativity; a child’s courage in bearing witness and seeking the truth from the adults around her; and the triumph of continuing to love in the face of obstacles.

Set in the 1960s, this ultra-low-budget film will be made with the help of a talented pool of actors and crew members in Winnipeg — and you!

HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED
We are proud to have successfully raised money from a variety of sources, and are of course investing our own money, but to give our film an authentic period feel, we need to access period props, furniture, costumes and cars. Please help us make our film even more beautiful!
