Montreal film maker Adrian Wills was born at St. Clare’s hospital in St. John’s, and was adopted to a Montreal couple. His film explores the scant information provided in his adoption record which only described his birth mother as “a quiet girl,” and documents his journey to Newfoundland to find his birth family.
