LIONESS

by Liina Trishkina-Vanhatalo

synopsis

Helena is a paramedic, a professional caretaker who paradoxically doesn’t know how to care for her teenage daughter Stefi when she gets on a dangerous and self-destructive path. As a woman of action rather than talk, Helena prepares an extreme plan to secretly kidnap and lock the girl up, far away from the evil world. But things don't work out as planned. An unexpected chain of events throws Helena into a state of shock and forces her to find an entirely new meaning for her motherly love.
