Full Synopsis
While telling her daughter a bedtime story, Mailin pieces her memories back together.
What could have been a fairy tale turns out to be the story of a young girl who suffered abuse from a priest for 15 years. It’s a long journey towards healing and justice, but also the chance to offer her daughter the childhood she never had.
