A harrowing, intimate portrait of a neglected child navigating institutional care and trauma, anchored by her fragile spiritual faith.

Lucy is eleven years old. Having been neglected by her estranged mother and father, she is placed in a children's home. Through her eyes, we follow her struggle to cope with the system; her only saving being her self-belief and certainty that she is being watched over and protected by the holy spirit.
