In this deeply moving feature documentary, adopted Montreal filmmaker Adrian Wills pieces together his complex birth origins in Newfoundland. Wills spends over two years in search of answers, revealing disquieting parallels between his own life and that of the birth mother he never knew. What begins as an urgent search for identity transforms the meaning of family, the filmmaker's place in the world, and along the way, the voice of his birth mother, the 'quiet girl'.
