Description
In 1984 London, eccentric single mother Cynthia (Hayley Squires) lives with her 7-year-old daughter Maria (Lily-Beau Leach) in a world filled with tender touches and boundless love. During the day, they roam the streets in search of discarded treasures, while their home slowly transforms into a precarious tower of collected junk.
