Introduction

Nadia is the mother of three children: a charming primary school-aged girl, sporty social middle child and teenage son Basil, whose undiagnosed mental illness manifests in manic episodes and erratic behaviour. Following Basil’s altercation with a teacher, Nadia becomes increasingly fearful for her family. This stylishly crafted and powerful drama navigates the unconditional bond between parents and child.
