Follows filmmaker Brenda Kovrig who, after meeting her birth mother, grapples with questions of identity, the nature of family, ancestral history, and genetics – not to mention deep, dark secrets. Funny and painful by turns, her journey brings her to philosophers, therapists and scientists, as she searches for clues to who she is and who she might have been. Part coming-of-age, part detective story, the film leaves no stone unturned as Brenda searches anxiously for answers while wondering if and when she'll meet the rest of her biological family. |
