The film tells the story of an eleven-year-old Ama and her mother Grace, who take solace in the gentle but isolated world they obsessively create. But Ama’s thirst for life, and her need to grow and develop, challenge the rules of their insular world and gradually force Grace to reckon with a past she struggles to forget.
