Description

Lullaby by Bernard Beckett tells the poignant tale of Rene, whose twin brother Theo lies unconscious in hospital following a freak accident that has severely disrupted his brain function. Despite the dire situation, there is a glimmer of hope.

An experimental procedure presents a chance for Theo to gain a new life. This procedure is risky, scientifically exciting, yet ethically questionable. Rene holds the power to give the required consent, placing him in the centre of a life-altering decision.

However, before he can decide, questions arise about Rene's capability to make such a profound choice. It is here that the true story of Lullaby begins, delving into themes of ethics, scientific progress, and the depth of familial bonds.
