ith this intimate, painful and rather lovely family history documentary, film-maker Iain Cunningham turns detective to discover the truth about his mum, Irene. As a child in the Midlands, he was told that she’d slipped into a coma and died. His dad remarried and it was an unwritten family rule that no one mentioned Irene. So Cunningham grew up with part of his identity missing. He didn’t see a photograph of his mum until he was 18, but imagined her presence everywhere.
