Powerful, unsettling, all too realistic..

An 8 year-old girl lives alone with her mother and dreams of a better life beyond the walls of their small and rundown apartment. Isolated and lonely, the girl’s only friend is her doll, Polly. From her window she sees other children playing happily in a park and desperately wants to go there with her own mum. Despite best intentions, her mother is in no position to respond to her daughter’s needs. When an invitation arrives to a community family picnic in the park, it seems like the perfect chance to get out of the apartment and do something with her mum. Her mother promises to take her – but so far life has been a series of broken promises. Maybe this time things will be different.
