影片是英国女星萨曼莎·莫顿的导演处女作,通过被遗弃的孩子的视角反映了英国医疗监管体系存在的问题。Lucy is eleven years old. Having been neglected by her estranged mother and father, she is placed in a children's home. Through her eyes, we follow Lucy's struggle to cope with the system. Her saving is her self-belief and her certainty that she is being watched over and protected by the holy spirit. Hers is a heroic quest for love, beauty and transcendence.
