Empire of Dirt

Lena is a woman living in the city. She has a daughter of thirteen. One day the girl takes an overdose. The incident draws the attention of child services. Lena is afraid of losing her daughter. So she leaves the city. The two of them go to her home town in the country. Her mother, whom she has not seen for years, lives there. There is an old grievance between mother and daughter. Three generations come together in the same house. Lena has to face what she ran away from. Her own past is in that house too. The daughter watches all of it from the side. The bond between the three of them builds slowly. Cara Gee and Shay Eyre appear in the ninety nine minute film, a Canadian production Peter Stebbings finished in 2013.
