Synopsis
Meet Evie and Jonathan: happily married, deeply in love, and about to experience the everyday miracle that is the birth of a child. While Evie breathes through the labour pains, with Jonathan anxious at her side, across the city six-year-old Kylie is carefully laying out her dolls. One day this angelic child will steal Evie’s husband and ruin her life. This is her.
As her younger self labours in the hospital ward, Evie takes us on a bittersweet tour of the future. This is Her is the ultimate home movie: as we watch the present unfold, Evie’s deliciously wry commentary reveals exactly what life holds for her younger self, her husband, her best friend, Kylie, Kylie’s family, and last, but by no means least, Evie and Jonathan’s newborn daughter.
Engaging, moving and devastatingly funny, This Is Her is a contemporary fable that reminds us that there are no guarantees, that the moments of greatest happiness can contain the seeds of disaster, and that in life there are no fairytale endings.
