In 2020 Caroline was pregnant and living down the road from the small Oxfordshire village where her French grandmother had her first baby in 1945.

Caroline decides to make a show about their experiences 75 years apart but slowly realises her grandmother’s stories stop after she becomes a mum.

Now Caroline is also struggling to find her own story.

A show about motherhood by a writer who is lost for words.
