Synopsis

Helen lives in London with her father and her kids. John, her husband, is an aid-worker in Eastern Europe. He has been gone many months. Helen is desperately anxious that he should come home. Taking the kids to school one morning, she is killed in a car accident. She remains caught in limbo, trapped between life and death. Many miles away, in war-torn Eastern Europe, John is unaware that his wife has died. As Helen herself is unaware that she is dead. Thus begins, a four-day Odyssey: Grandpa and the kids must come to terms with Helen’s death; John must travel across a war-torn land as he tries to reach home; and Helen must stand helplessly observing her own existence as it comes back to haunt her – until at last she is reconciled with John, and thus released. –IMDb

A sad,complex film that is not difficult to follow,once you realise it is a family drama,ghost story,and about traveling under stress in a war torn country,trying to get back to loved ones. The performances are first rate and i look forward to seeing more from first time Director Ms Young.
