Film Description:
"In this coming-of-age tale, adolescent Miles narrates his memories of his single mother, Wanda, an eye patch–wearing, former sex worker. Both mother and child are a nomadic unit, regularly relocating their home base with stuffed suitcases in hand. Paired with the invisible handiwork of stop-motion animation, [Lesley Loksi] Chan visually choreographs her characters in artful tableaux, intimating both depth and distance in Miles' filial bond with Wanda. Marrying an endearing voiceover with elegantly lit and intricately stylized visual compositions, Chan's tender, parental ode employs hand-constructed dollhouses and hand gestures to illustrate the migratory tethers of memory and family."

Film Description:
"Wanda and Miles move a lot. Whenever they feel like it, they just put on their shoes and go! One day Wanda realizes that moving too much makes Miles' head hurt so now they must navigate the difficult landscape of compromise and change. But journeys aren't that easy when you have to carry heavy histories and heavy hearts."
