The film follows the story of young teen
April whose troubled life began in a dustbin - a new born baby, abandoned and
alone, not celebrated, not wanted but discarded and left like so much rubbish in
an industrial bin behind a pizza parlour. On the morning of her fourteenth
birthday April has a devastating row with her foster mother, Marion and leaves
the house determined to find out where she really comes from, who she really is
and maybe, just maybe, find her real mother. Telling no-one what she’s up to or
where she’s going, April skips school and begins the search she’s dreamed about
all her life. It’s a blur of social workers, children’s homes and special
schools as April revisits and recalls the key scenes of her fragmented past.
It’s a painful journey, sometimes frightening but there’s also friendship and
love and laughter. And now she’s started, there’s no going back - April must
find her mother. |
