Eleven years after escaping the horror of living
with an abusive husband, Hanna Lloyd, a single mother of two children,
now finds herself struggling to maintain her household after recently
losing her job. As a direct result of losing her job, Hanna can no
longer afford to keep her daughter, Christine, in college. This only
adds more stress to an already strained relationship. Complicating
matters, Hanna's spirited mother, Sara, decides to move in with the
family. Furthermore, Hanna notices that her now eleven year-old son,
Ricky, has acquired the gambling ways of his father, whom he has never
met. When Ricky finds a bag filled with thousands of dollars in cash,
things only get worse. The criminal who stole the money discovers the
boy has it and now stalks the family and is determined to get the money
back---no matter what the cost.
Director, Peter Fields
says, "To put it simply, this film is about not allowing
a past filled with pain and abuse destroy one's present and future,
which can and should be an opportunity for hope, healing and happiness.
Sadly, so many families suffer through domestic abuse issues and too
many of those individuals responsible for committing the abuse do not
take the initiative and have the courage to seek help, face and
challenge their demons, and change. "To
See the Moon in the Morning
Sky" is a story about one family's struggle to emerge from the
darkness
of the past and to step forward with hope and a determination to take
charge of their lives. This is a film that I believe will touch many
people, even those who have not experienced the horrors of domestic
abuse. Many of us have our own personal "darkness" that exists in our
past that prevents us from living life fully and freely. We must have
the determination to believe that we are worthy of happiness and to
claim our right to a life of peace, joy and love."
