The story, told in iambic pentameter verse, is told by a child about the demise of her parent's marriage and how she observed it and deals with her own feelings about it.
Divorce is such a heart wrenching experience, both for the couple and perhaps doubly so for their child or children. No one ever marries thinking that the joy they experience at that time will disappear and they will end their marriage. A child's sense of security is shattered as their parents separate. This film serves as a reminder to the child that, the love their parents have for them will never go away, no matter what happens. It's beautifully filmed and edited and the narration by Amy Kaur is sensitively delivered as it reflects so truly the feelings of a child as things unfold.
The film's message is a reminder that parents will always love you, even when they go their separate ways and, though life won't be the same after their divorce, there is a new life awaiting you that is filled with love and compassion.
