Childhood Home

The picture-perfect Bird family consists of pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and towheaded twins Rory and Rhys. Rory is an adventurous troublemaker, while Rhys is his slighter, more sensitive counterpart. Their father is a sweet, gangly man, but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother Lorelei who is at the center of their family. In the early years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling their simple brick house with precious mementos, with Easter egg foils being her favorite and she also loves craft supplies. She hangs all of the children’s art, much to her husband’s chagrin. Then one tragic Easter weekend, a devastating event occurs that almost imperceptibly begins to tear the family apart. Years pass and the children have become adults, while Lorelei has become the county’s worst hoarder. She has alienated her husband and children and has been living as a recluse. But then something happens that beckons the Bird family back to the house they grew up in - to finally understand the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.
