SYNOPSIS

Every night under Hackney skies, mothers from faraway lands create a familiar space for their children by singing them lullabies they heard in their childhood. A mother faces a dilemma in sharing her sense of home with a child who is rooted in another country and culture. Do the lullabies bring them closer together or accentuate the difference between them?
