Heavy Weather focuses on sixteen year-old Mona, an outsider and a visionary. Mona lives with her older sister Elin but is searching for their mother, Lucinda. She thinks she sees her on an online post from a protest and she sets off to find her. On the way Mona meets a range of characters that we want to help her but only serve to hinder her progress on her mission to find Lucinda. Mona finds her mum at the protest but it's not the reunion Mona desires and Lucinda rejects her again. Mona returns to Elin who she recognises is her mum in all the important ways.
