Rebecca Daly : 2011
Arlene, a sleepwalker since childhood, wakes one morning surrounded by sinister woods. But something is different this time, because she lies next to a dead girl. Or was this awakening from the sleepwalking maybe just another dream? A few hours later Arlene is at work in the local factory of the small Irish rural town she grew up in. When news reaches the factory staff that the body of a 17-year-old girl named Gina has been found in the woods, Arlene immediately channels her own mother's mysterious disappearance, twenty years ago. Increasingly drawn to the girl's family, the accused boyfriend and grieving sister, Arlene barricades herself in at night, depriving herself of sleep. Deep in emotional turmoil, her sleeping and waking realities soon blur, as the community searches to find the killer. Drawing from haunting recollections of her own teenage years in Sussex, Rebecca Daly's dark thriller debut feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2011.
