Ally's ready to be a mum. She's done the antenatal classes, cleaned up her diet, and even forgone her beloved tea to avoid the caffeine. So why does something inside her still feel off? In the final days of pregnancy, Ally is determined to take control of her life while it's still hers. As she steps into the unknown, she's forced to confront who she truly is, and what she might lose – or find – when the baby arrives. Exploring self-identity, sexuality and the tension between compromise and sacrifice, GUSH considers what it means to discover what we want and dare to ask for it.

It's reassuringly familiar. Like nothing's changed. But, haunted by grief, Franky's family are quietly unravelling around her. Her dad is hiding himself away, and buried family secrets are leaking through the cracks in every room. A bittersweet, tender exploration of the long tail of grief and the fickleness of memory, Heart Wall asks where we go when the walls start closing in and home has become somewhere you don't know.
