Nathalie Biancheri : 2019
Newly arrived from Dublin, 16-year-old school running champion Laurie lives alone with her single mother in a Yorkshire coastal town. Something of an outsider, the aspiring athlete struggles to connect with the other girls on her track team, distancing herself with a quietly combative demeanour. But Laurie can't deflect the attention of Pete, a handyman in his thirties performing some odd jobs at her school. Frustrated and lonely, Laurie overcomes her initial fear of Pete. After a couple of curt interactions, she eventually agrees to hang out with her new admirer and almost immediately a connection is apparent. As they spend more time together, a unique bond grows, yet Pete's intentions remain ambiguous. Until one day when Pete's real predicament and intentions come to light and the truth emerges. Nathalie Biancheri's feature debut premiered at BFI London Film Festival 2019, and screened in competition in the Hauteur section at Les Arcs Film Festival 2019.
