    • Synopsis
    • Sheffield, North England.
      Ellis and her mother Maggie live together in a
      bungalow in the so-called 'Steel City'. Maggie was once a capable dancer, but after receiving a diagnosis of motor neurone disease one year ago, she’s now paralysed and suffers from locked-in syndrome. Her body is now frail and vulnerable.
      She's lost her voice to severe muscle wasting and
      irreversible nerve damage, and is slowly losing her identity one day at a time, to a disease with no treatment in sight. The only thing in view is her daughter's possible success in the dance arena,
      which Maggie knew well in her past.
      Maggie's daughter, Ellis, is her primary carer; who's
      both ignited and beleaguered by the suffering she
      sees up close every day. Striving for meaning, but
      struggling to find respite from the constant stress of
      what's to come.
      Whilst Ellis reaches for more outside of her caregiver
      existence, the internal conflict within reaches heights
      she struggles to contend with.
