 | Helen Leonard is a beautiful and intelligent woman who seems to have it all. Happily married to her husband, David, she enjoys a close and loving relationship with her teenage daughter from her previous marriage, and teaches at the local university where she is admired by her students and colleagues. Yet there is a dark secret Helen has managed to hide for many years. She suffers from clinical depression which gradually penetrates the very fabric of her well-being until she can no longer take care of her daughter or continue teaching at the
university. Helen�s husband loves and supports her unconditionally, but at times she becomes inaccessible and withdrawn from the world. When she meets Mathilda, Helen understands that they share a common bond and, courageously struggling out of her own quagmire, she tries desperately to help her. Helen takes us on a journey without easy departures. It is also the portrait of a marriage and a story of friendship�of courage, devotion, and the triumph of the heart over the mind. | |
