While trying to help a fellow adoptee find her birth mother, British-Romanian filmmaker Rachel Close delves back into her own family story looking for healing

and closure. Launching an international search for her missing sisters, she unearths a tragic legacy of abuse and exploitation. Can she harness the creative power of self-authorship to interrogate the ghosts of her past and write a new script for her future?
