Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Münch wrote the screenplay over six years, inspired by his own adoption search that ended in reunion—and disappointment.
The title references a 1930s lullaby Frances sang on her radio show, a detail Bisset improvised after Münch's mother mentioned it from her own childhood.
