Hilda

Synopsis

A gritty British drama set in modern-day London. Nearing her final year of school, Hilda’s aspirations hit rock bottom when she is forced to contend with the abandonment of her parents and the dependency of younger siblings. Determined to avoid the breakup of her family, she depends on dance to keep the enclosing chaos at bay. As people begin to vanish from Hilda's life, her only constant is music, but when it stops the silence is deafening.
