Description July 2021 Sotheby's auctions the love letters between Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. "I'm not sure everybody finds a love like that in their lifetime. And if they do, however short-lived it is, it's going to be quite a ride." - Frieda Hughes, daughter. However, there is another story, another viewpoint, another daughter. The forgotten child is at the centre of 'Birthday Book of Storms'.

'Birthday Book of Storms' sees a mysterious girl investigating others' lives searching for answers about identity in a magic, surrealist temporality.
