Inga (Marcia Gay Harden) realizes that many things in her life are coming full circle. Her crumbling marriage is a stark contrast to her relationship with her 8-year-old daughter, (Eulala Scheel) with whom she shares her hopes, fears and inner-most thoughts and by day their lives seem magical, full of cloud watching, kite flying and lazy summer drives. By weaving optimism into her life's story it is in her own poetic writing that she hears the echo of her mother's journey and experiences the revelation that allows her own transformation.
