DREAMLESS reveals what all mothers find out, but few tell their daughters....
Long after mothers have been "liberated," Cheryl Smallman sits at the playground, skewering traditional female roles with dark and comic stories about her ambition, her fellow mothers and their struggles to live up to an impossible ideal.
We see what it's like when the drive for perfection lands her on "the wrong side of the click" - the locked door on the psych floor. Cheryl shares hilarious adventures with her fellow patients, and shows us why trying to have dreams and raise kids is a real mother.
