Helena Kutsche is a young German actress who has recently graduated in Performing Arts from a modest Community College in East London. Her dream is to become a professional actress and “make it” in the difficult London acting scene, the city where she has lived for the past few years. However, the notorious hostile environment European citizens find themselves in under Brexit Britain immediately becomes apparent when, due to potential working visa issues, she is dismissed from an audition for a neo-noir representation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s “Yerma”. Helena’s luck takes a turn when she receives a casting call for a film by a renowned British filmmaker. The casting director is looking for a young actress with perfect German and English abilities. This is the role Helena was born to play.
