Heidi wants to find out who she is and where she came from. She never knew her father and, as to her knowledge, has no relatives. Her history starts when their next door neighbor, Bernie, found mama in the next door apartment without any idea as to how to care for a screaming baby, Heidi. Heidi discovers a disposable camera with some pictures on it from her past before she was born and mama starts insisting 'soof' when she is shown the pictures. Interested in that Heidi may find out where she came from, she calls the facility the pictures were taken at and when her calls begin to be ignored she takes a journey on a Greyhound to get to the bottom of the mystery--her identity.
Review: Touching story of how important it is to know our history and where we come from and who we are like in our families.
