Daphne

2017 · 87 min

A sharp, intimate character study that drifts through city nights and quiet mornings, slowly revealing the loneliness beneath a witty exterior.

Overview: Daphne is a young woman negotiating the tricky business of modern life. Caught in the daily rush of her restaurant job and a nightlife kaleidoscope of new faces, she is witty, funny, the life of the party. Too busy to realise that deep down she is not happy. When she saves the life of a shopkeeper stabbed in a failed robbery, the impenetrable armour she wears to protect herself begins to crack, and Daphne is forced to confront the inevitability of a much-needed change in her life.
How it feels: Melancholic, cynical, warm and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, isolation, trauma, healing
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
