NIGHT, MOTHER

Where the clouds graze at night,
Mom narrates your dream.
Close your eyes and don’t cry,
Fall asleep, doze off, my sunshine…

A cosy and warm, maybe a bit too cluttered mother’s room. It’s where a mother, Thelma, and her grown-up daughter, Jessie,
spend their evening amongst lace of all shapes and colours, lots of boxes and sweet pastries with fudgy cream. Only the
familiar and recognisable routine is suddenly interrupted by Jessie’s words about suicidal thoughts. This news becomes the
starting point for the characters to look at each other with greater care, to reconsider life and death.
