Emily has been given a new chance at life. But will she be able to overcome unresolved traumas and stay still long enough to truly embrace change?
The film focuses on two days in the life of long term homeless woman, Emily, who is on the cusp of a new beginning, yet troubled by thoughts of her past. Whilst her empathetic but overworked caseworker tries to get her settled in new permanent accommodation, Emily is either in attack mode or being non-present. The promise of a new beginning should be alluring but the reality of isolation and loneliness, which the caseworker can do little about, are also apparent in this meditation on the complexities that face many long-term homeless people.
