Eva's Project

November

NOVEMBER deals with a family stuck in mourning. Fourteen years ago, six-year-old Iris went missing and though someone confessed to her murder, her body was never found. The mother can't let go of the idea that Iris is still alive - somewhere. The father feels he has tried everything to stand by his wife but now about to give up. Stuck in the middle is youngest daughter Camilla, who grew up in the shadow of a sister she hardly remembers.

NOVEMBER is a story about loss, guilt, the ability or refusal to move on and the powerful role deceased loved ones play in the lives of their surviving family members.
