Synopsis

Participants

Ten year old Moja lives with her grief-stricken Slovenian dad and pregnant twenty year old sister Vesna in an outer suburb of Melbourne. Unable to accept the reality of her mother’s sudden passing, Moja focuses on preparing for the baby while Vesna
is lost in troubles of her own. Adamant and full of light, Moja pushes on, hoping in vain that Vesna will eventually fill the mother-shaped hole in her life. But Vesna pushes Moja to accept that their mother has in fact died, which causes the relationship between the sisters to strain and as the birth draws closer the grieving family continues to fragment. After meeting Miranda and her quirky daughter Danger, a family very different to her own, Moja’s world begins to open.
