Helen background

Helen

A teenager with a tumultuous past is given a unique opportunity to face her demons when she's selected by the police to play a victim in a simulated crime scene.

An 18-year-old girl named Joy has vanished, and a care home resident named Helen is about to leave the institution. Helen is asked to pretend to be Joy in a police reconstruction, retracing Joy's final steps. Despite having a loving family, a boyfriend, and a promising future, Joy's life was turned upside down. In contrast, Helen has lived in institutions all her life, never forming close bonds with anyone. As Helen becomes more invested in the role, she starts to explore the places and people Joy knew, gradually inserting herself into the missing girl's life. But is Helen searching for answers about Joy's disappearance or her own sense of identity?
