White Sheep

Born into the narrow dockland streets of late-sixties South Wales, Odette longs for escape. She wishes things were different. But what can a child do but dream and hold on? Raised in a mixed heritage family by her single mother, Annette, and her Woodbine-smoking Grandma, she and her two younger sisters must navigate an angry world of booze, prostitution and uncertainty. When Odette’ s mother meets and marries Peter – a handsome bulldog of a man with a great right hook and a temper to match his new bride – life becomes a series of moves up to a valleys’ estate and back again, taking in a stint at a women’s refuge and a short bout of homelessness along the way.
