CONVERSATION WITH THE DIRECTOR
Helena is a German actress and a victim of the new hostile policies of post-Brexit Great Britain.
Here, as a consequence of those policies, a new social group has formed, called ‘those who stay’, because they have attained a British passport.
And the director of the film is part of this group. It is only sixty-seven (intense) minutes for a first, striking, zero budget film.
