A intimate portrait of postpartum depression that contrasts the darkness of mental illness with the colorful escape of imagination, grounded in the struggle to find hope one breath at a time.

Julie is a new mom and children's book author, who escapes into the bright Crayola-colored world of her creation in order to leave behind the darkness caused by her post-partum depression.
