United Kingdom, Fiction, 2007, 9′

The police reconstruct the disappearance of a teenage girl in a park. Off-screen, we hear the personal reflections of a female police officer about the process of leaving childhood behind and entering the world of adulthood. Lyrical, virtuoso prelude to the first feature film by Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor.
