Nestled in a cluttered studio by the sea, we are immersed in the colourful world of textile artist Deborah Dumka. A study of the nature of memory and how it can both harm and protect. This story reveals the continuum of gender-based discrimination, sexism, and violence through an intimate conversation between mother and daughter.
