Lollipop (dir. Lisa Marie Russo)

Synopsis

Lollipop (the sweet sounding name of a mastectomy scar) explores the creator’s surreal odyssey of tackling breast cancer. Twice. Her avatar, Eva, slips into youthful memories of seaside attractions and sunshine, which morph into something dark and corporeal as she juggles family life and illness.
The film is in development with the BFI and NI Screen.
