SYNOPSIS
A drama exploring family life, motherhood and a buried secret. Unresolved issues make their way to the surface when Chris returns to Cork for a visit from her base in London. It touches upon Ireland’s shameful past of mother and baby homes, institutions which housed women when they became pregnant outside of marriage.
SOUND DESIGN
A light touch was required here. Our main role was cleaning up and mixing the dialogue track, and adding suitable ambiences and backgrounds. There are one or two moments where sound design comes to the fore but for the most part it is very understated, letting the characters and performances shine through.
