Synopsis

Twenty one year old Violet Kale is wasting her life – she hasn’t even got the desire to dream. Yet when Violet wakes up after a 3-day drug and alcohol binge to the sound of her friend’s baby Maria crying with hunger, she doesn’t simply feed the child, she takes Maria and runs…Violet Kale has fallen out of love with life. A dissolute figure she drifts along with her friend Lisa (mother of a baby daughter Maria), reluctant to take responsibility for anything except her own pleasure. Then on a whim she steals Maria away, heading on a journey to a new land, and seeing in the child a chance of a new future, and a hope for salvation…
