The Good Girl (Short Film)

The Good Girl is a psychological thriller about 3 very different women, the bond they share and the desperate circumstances that unite them. A European style film written in neo-noir style blurring the lines between what is real and what is not.

Description

The film concentrates on three immigrant women from the former Yugoslavia, who have immigrated to Canada to create a better life for themselves. Interconnected through the bonds of their old country and the atrocities suffered back in their war torn homeland, all three women struggle for various reasons. Monika, a street-smart stripper struggles to hold her dignity and her job in order to complete her degree in psychology. Suzanna, a sweet and docile nursery school teacher, who’s horrific past continues to haunt her and Tanya a strong-willed factory worker who lives with an abusive lover and is faced with a desperate ultimatum.

This short film endeavors to unweave the story behind these 3 women and their connection to the disheveled schoolgirl. Using a suspense driven method, the film intertwines the present day in conjunction with a series of flashbacks.
