The UK discovery of the year: a subtle, sophisticated psychological drama.
When a young woman disappears, loner Helen (Annie Townsend) agrees to play her in a police reconstruction. Slowly but surely, the missing girl's persona begins to influence Helen, filling gaps in her own fractured life. Writer/directors Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy maintain a sense of slow-burning mystery, treating the characters with heart-twisting compassion whilst keeping their true motivations ambiguous. With an atmosphere quite distinct from any British work of the moment, this is a most exciting debut.
