Inheritance

Helena’s disfigured face has defined her since childhood, even though her older sister Grace always urged her to love herself. Grace’s sudden death leaves Helena stunned and broken-hearted, but also leaves her with an unexpected inheritance. With only one day to make her decision, Helena becomes increasingly desperate to understand the real motivation behind Grace’s gift. Inheritance is a meditation on the power and fragility of appearances, and how those who love us help us to love ourselves.
