Set in 1947, in a quiet rural town in New Zealand, On the Edge of Hope follows Helen, a mother clinging to the hope that her son—missing in action during World War II—will return home. As the war fades from public memory and the town’s sympathy begins to wane, Helen is waiting for the letter that may never come.
This is a tender story of quiet resilience, a mother’s unwavering love, and the strength it takes to hold on when the rest of the world has already let go.
