8-year-old Billie leans on her vivid imagination, and her loyal best friend Sherry, to unravel the web of secrets shrouding her mother’s true identity. Believing that her mother is a ballerina icon, Billie stops at nothing to try to find her. As Billie delves deeper into the mysteries of her family’s past, she begins to question the true intentions of the ones closest to her — her grandma and dad. Billie must decide whether to embrace her imperfect family or continue living in the comfort of their secrets.
In partnership with the Festival du film canadien de Dieppe.
