A haunting and evocative exploration of the meaning of family and home.
Ingrid and Norah have an unconventional upbringing—growing up in a motel, raised by their mother and her female partner. The girl's grandmother, Ada, who owns The Blue Moth, has always held herself at a distance. But when she buys a piano for The Blue Moth, that all changes. Years later in England, while singing in a choir, Ingrid loses her voice and must decide what to do. She hears from Norah, who’s reviving a party that began during their childhood to celebrate the arrival of mysterious and elusive blue moths.
The Blue Moth Motel deals with family dynamics, grief, and the concept of home.
