Helen

An 18 year old girl called Joy has gone missing. A college-mate of hers called Helen is a few weeks away from leaving her care home. Helen is asked to “play” Joy in a police reconstruction that will retrace Joy’s last known movements. Joy represents all that was missing from Helen’s life – she had parents, a boyfriend, a future. Gradually Helen immerses herself in the role, and by borrowing elements of Joy’s life begins herself to flower. (New Wave Films)
