Helen

Helen (Ashley Judd) is beautiful, intelligent and seems to have it all. Happily married to David (Goran Visnjic), she enjoys a loving relationship with her teenage daughter (Alexia Fast) from a previous marriage, and teaches at the local university. Yet Helen is hiding a secret which gradually penetrates the very fabric of her well-being. David loves and supports her unconditionally, but at times she becomes inaccessible and withdrawn. When she meets Mathilda (Lauren Lee Smith), Helen understands 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 a portrait of a marriage and a story of friendship - of courage, devotion, and the triumph of love.
