The Old Child explores several traumatic relationships that bring a woman to the edge; deep into the dark hole of depression. The chosen excerpts reflect on heartbreaking moments the woman experiences with her sister and husband. After confronting and analysing her life-altering, toxic relationships, the woman finds strength, power and beauty within herself and the will to continue.
