Nine-year-old Elise loves and adores her older sister, Esme. They play together, laugh together, and navigate grief together after their mother's death.

One day, Esme falls ill and is diagnosed with a terminal disease, leaving young Elise to learn how to mourn with grace. With the comfort and guidance of her father, Elise finds a way to honor a love that continues to grow, even when it is no longer physically present.

“My Beautiful Doll” explores death and mourning within young families, while acknowledging the depth and complexity of grief.
