Miriam, a girl of 'mixed blood' is uprooted from Sri Lanka and transplanted to Sydney to escape the escalating ethnic conflict in the late 1990s. Displaced and disoriented, she fights to find her voice in a society that shows little empathy towards the 'lost in translation'. Traumatised by rejection and loneliness, she looks for answers in all the wrong places. Join Miriam in her emotional journey through different cultures numbed by set standards, routine and materialism, as she relates her story of 'coming home' through letters, poetry and sketches to her own daughter Faith.
