Cordelia

Adrian Shergold : 2019

Cordelia lives in a basement flat in Central London with her twin sister, Caroline, and her sister's new boyfriend, Matt. Traumatised by a terrible event that took place twelve years ago, she had abandoned her career as a promising young actress. Always quite fragile emotionally, Cordelia is today on the upward slope. She has returned to work and little by little, is integrating with society once more. Her gradual move towards independence is placed into jeopardy, however, when Caroline and Matt depart for a weekend break. Cordelia is left to cope with her mysterious neighbours, a haunting cello player and an eccentric old man, not to mention all the mice and a stalker to boot. She meets Frank, her cellist neighbour, whose music has always touched her. But when their relationship takes a more serious turn, she begins to doubt his true motivations. Cordelia begins to unravel, regressing back to the state of confusion she has tried so hard to repress since surviving that traumatic event all those years ago. Adrian Shergold's feature premiered in competition at Dinard Film Festival 2019.
