    A tremendous, elliptical piece that explores the 'truths' we tell ourselves and how families protect themselves. Felt much longer than 10 minutes. Really works as a short piece. Could also be extrapolated out to great effect. Recommend.

    What stories are we told and as we discover the truth, how is our perception changed? A powerful look at how a family copes with their truth and how they carry on. Excellent.

    What a taut and compelling exploration of the demise of a family myth. Despite the harrowing revelations that the adult Lilith comes to accept, she is able to reconcile the truth with her enduring love for her grandparents.
