An elderly mother and daughter retell their century long stories of withheld motherly love. These strained mother-daughter relationships are shaped by major historical events of the last hundred years. From the Great Depression, the tuberculosis epidemic in the 1930's, Woodstock 1969, and the events of 9/11, we see how history shapes lives.
"Like a spear piercing my heart I was mortally wounded. To this day there is still a hole in my heart left open by that day."
Esther and Rose navigate through the entanglements of their stained relationships as worldly events unfold.
