OF SILENCE AND SONG

After a recent divorce, Emma finds herself financially strained and facing an unexpected pregnancy in Texas. On her daughter Ellie’s birthday, Emma reluctantly brings her along to the abortion clinic, only to be denied due to restrictive state laws. Battling her inner turmoil, Emma tries to stay composed, but her mother Shirley intuits her daughter’s distress. In a vulnerable moment, Shirley opens up about her own harrowing experience of undergoing an unsafe, illegal abortion in 1969, sparking a poignant journey of empathy and understanding between mother and daughter.
