YD plays ‘Lucy’ the battered child of a cruel middle-aged Victorian doctor. Her beautiful young mother falls in love with a handsome young soldier and they plan to run away to America… but their plan is foiled when the father overhears them talking and intervenes. However, his health is failing due to the fact that he is being systematically poisoned, ironically with his own medicine. He then dies, leaving the lovers free to escape to a happy future across the Atlantic. And the twist is... 'Lucy' is the murderer. That's my girl.
I didn't do the plot justice in my description because the concept of the film is great and the cinematography described in the script looked as if it was sheer brilliance. The cast, the crew and especially the director were lovely and all seemed very impressed with YD, though I have to say that she takes direction well and is always impeccably behaved on set. Of course I am a bit biased, but I also thought her acting was excellent, although we shall have to wait and see the finished article for proof of that. It must be good as it was one of just five films selected for this screening, in the presence of industry professionals. I personally can’t wait to see it.
YD is beside herself with excitement as she has never been to a premier or seen herself on the big screen before. She has had her outfit sorted out since the weekend and has planned her hairstyle (and back-up hairstyle) as well as talking me into a slick of lipgloss for the evening. I will need a copious supply of tissues for the screening. I am, and shall be a very proud mummy.
