| Submission declined on 25 August 2023 by Asparagusus (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Asparagusus 8 months ago. | |
Comment: Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:40, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Seems to be a duplicate of Draft:Cradle Song (1981 short film). Please don't do that as it splits the edit history and doesn't show how you've fixed the draft since it was declined twice. Asparagusus (interaction) 15:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Plot[edit]
Cradle Song tells the story of a young farm couple who are struggling with the impending birth of their second child, for reasons revealed as the story unfolds. The husband is tortured by a past trauma, which keeps haunting him, putting his relationship with his wife whom he loves very much in peril. Feeling isolated, she takes comfort in caring for her elderly grandma who lives with them. Meanwhile, he keeps busy working on the farm, trying to escape his torment. But eventually, he feels the only way he can find redemption for what haunts him is by revisiting the trauma in the way it came to him in the first place, risking his life in the process. His wife waits, long into the night, not knowing if he will ever come home again.
