The Lost Light The First Home
Tamar’s daughters keep trying to tell her of a wonderous land they’ve found, but she is too overworked to hear them. When a strange recurring melody finally forces her to pay attention, she follows her daughters into the depths beneath the film, beyond the story itself. Venturing to the far end of an ancient liminal space, Tamar meets a little girl who’s both familiar and unknown, the one whose mysterious melody (which turns out to be a song) belongs to.
