Nadine the movie

Nadine a teenage girl who is a regular self-harmer, is subjected to a hostile mother, an abusive stepfather, a drug addicted boyfriend and crude sexual violence from the locals.
She lives on a desolate council estate surrounded by nature, it is amongst the nature where she finds occasional solace.

However the profound weight of indifference, injustice and cruelty, proves too much for Nadine who's life enters a rapid downward spiral.




The search for a natural and unglamorous account of a young person solitary existence as led me to tell the story of Nadine. Many young people cannot cope with the responsibility and realities of maturing in a world that offers no concrete explanation of the significance of being. The question 'who am I' often followed by a deafening silence leaves an unimaginable emptiness within.
Nadine is somewhat of a fusion of realism and allegorical fable. The moderately documentary visual style- using long takes, slow pans and creeping tracking shots, enhances the sensation of realism to develop a social portrait of a teenage life, which is both sympathetic and brutally unsentimental.
