You Know My Mum is a cheeky comedy about life and death for all the family. The story follows Bluey, a baby bird, and Alex, a 25-year-old woman with Down’s syndrome who is struggling with the death of her mum.
One day she discovers Bluey, a baby bird, in her garden. Whilst Bluey learns about fried chicken factories and joins a boot camp for birds, Alex battles Harry Potter monsters and dreams about life after death. As her wild imagination comes to life, Alex will learn that the love she thought she lost is actually all around her.
Quote
ALEX: “I think your soul flies into the people you love. That way you can stay with them and keep them safe.”
