Sarah, a talented pianist, struggles to cope with the devastating loss of her infant child, which compounds her earlier disappointments. In the 1960s, community support for grieving families is sparse, unlike today, where organisations like compassionatefriendsqld.org.au provide assistance. Despite the efforts of her husband, Jack, and sister, Vivienne, to support her through this painful time, Sarah feels isolated in her grief, dismissing comforting words from friends and family. A visit to the doctor only results in a Valium prescription, highlighting her profound despair. Sarah's journey of healing remains uncertain, as she has emotionally withdrawn from those around her.
